[Asia Economy Reporter Wondara] The Future Korea Party, a satellite party for proportional representation under the United Future Party, is expected to finalize and announce its candidates on the 16th.

The Future Korea Party's Nomination Management Committee announced on the 15th that it had completed the interview screening of 531 proportional representation candidates over four days starting from the 12th. The committee is expected to announce the interview results on the afternoon of the 16th.

On the last day of interviews, candidates such as Kim Yeryeong, a former Gyeonggi Broadcasting reporter who gained attention during President Moon Jae-in's New Year's press conference for asking, "Where does your confidence come from? I will ask you directly," and Shin Dongho, a former MBC announcer, were interviewed. Former MBC president Kim Jaecheol and tennis coach Kim Heunhee, who were eliminated from the United Future Party's nomination, also attended the interviews that day.

Previously, lawyer Yoo Youngha, who revealed former President Park Geun-hye's "prison letter," North Korean human rights activist and defector Ji Seongho, who was recruited by the United Future Party, and Yoon Jukyung, granddaughter of independence activist Yoon Bonggil and former director of the Independence Hall, had also completed their interviews.

Meanwhile, the Future Korea Party's Nomination Management Committee has stated its intention to give priority on the proportional representation list to some applicants in their 20s and 30s. It has also announced that it will apply the same principles of exclusion or disqualification to former nominees such as President Kim Jaecheol and tennis coach Kim Eunhee, who were eliminated from the United Future Party's nomination.
