Former presidential spokeswoman Kim Haing was appointed as president of the Korean Institute for Gender Equality Promotion and Education Friday. She will serve a three-year term.

Kim resigned from her post as Cheong Wa Dae spokeswoman on Dec. 31, saying that she would like some time to rest and recharge.

The institute is a body affiliated with the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family. It aims to promote awareness of gender equality both at home and abroad.
