legitimate subjunctive?

Hi, Please tell me if this is the good subjunctive.

He is determined his successor come from the Gyeongsang region ...

Yes-- rather formal nowadays, but it is a good subjunctive. A 'that' might help: He is determined that his successor come from the Gyeongsang region.

George Curme would probably tell you that a softer version of that subjunctive is:

He is determined his successor should come from the Gyeongsang region ...
