윤석열 대통령이 10일 대통령실 신임 시민사회수석에 전광삼 전 시민소통비서관을 임명했다.
정진석 대통령 비서실장은 이날 오전 용산 대통령실 브리핑에서 "언론인으로 사회 각 분야 풍부한 경험·네트워크를 바탕으로 정무감각·소통능력을 인정 받았다"며 "뭣보다 2번의 대통령실 비서관 경험을 토대로 시민사회의 다양한 목소리가 국정운영에 반영되도록 현장 의견 경청·조율에 적임자라 본다"고 소개했다.
경북 울진 출신 전 신임 수석은 대구 성광고·중앙대 졸업 후 서울신문에서 기자로 활동했으며 지난 박근혜 정부 청와대 국정홍보비서관실 선임행정관·춘추관장 등을 역임했다.
윤석열 정부 들어 시민소통비서관을 지냈으며 지난 제22대 4·10 총선에서 대구 북구갑에 출마했으나 공천서 탈락했다. 시민사회수석은 시민사회·종교계 등과의 소통을 담당하는 자리로 지난 3월 황상무 전 수석이 '언론인 회칼 테러' 발언으로 물의를 빚고 사퇴하며 공석이었다.
전 신임 수석은 "가장 낮은 자세로 가장 넓게 더 깊게 세심하게 듣겠다"며 "많이 듣고 가감 없이 있는 그대로 전달하는 게 주어진 임무·역할이라 생각한다"고 소감을 밝혔다.
그러면서 "저랑 똑같은 생각을 갖고 있는 사람과 딱히 소통해야 할 이유가 없는 거 같다"며 "더 많은 분야에 다른 생각을 갖고 있는 분들과 적극 소통해나가겠다"고 덧붙였다.

President Yoon Seok-yeol appointed Jeon Gwang-sam, former secretary for citizen communication, as the new senior secretary for civil society in the Presidential Office on the 10th.
Presidential Chief of Staff Jeong Jin-seok said at the Yongsan Presidential Office briefing this morning, "As a journalist, I have been recognized for my sense of political affairs and communication skills based on my rich experience and network in each field of society," and "More than anything, based on my two experiences as the President's Office Secretary, I have heard various voices from civil society." “I believe he is the right person to listen to and coordinate opinions from the field so that they are reflected in state administration,” he said.
The former new chief from Uljin, Gyeongsangbuk-do, worked as a reporter at the Seoul Shinmun after graduating from Daegu Seonggwang High School and Chung-Ang University, and served as a senior administrator in the Office of the Secretary for State Affairs and Public Relations at the Blue House under the Park Geun-hye administration and as head of the Spring and Autumn Period.
He served as Secretary for Citizen Communication during the Yoon Seok-yeol administration, and ran for Daegu Buk-gu Gap in the 22nd April 10 general election, but was eliminated from the nomination process. The position of senior secretary for civil society is in charge of communication with civil society and the religious community, and the position was left vacant in March when former senior secretary Hwang Sang-moo resigned after causing controversy with his remarks on 'journalist Hoe-knife terrorism'.
The new chief former chief expressed his thoughts, saying, "I will listen in the widest, deepest, and most detailed manner in the lowest position," and "I think it is my given mission and role to listen a lot and convey it as it is without any addition or subtraction."
At the same time, he added, "I don't think there is any reason to communicate with people who have the same thoughts as me," and added, "I will actively communicate with people who have different thoughts in more fields."
