[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyemin] The proportional representation order of the Future Korea Party, which had been embroiled in nomination controversies, has been readjusted. Former Independence Hall Director Yoon Joo-kyung was selected for number 1, and former Korea Financial Research Institute President Yoon Chang-hyun was placed at number 2. Both are talents recruited during the Liberty Korea Party era. Former Dong-A Ilbo editorial writer Cho Soo-jin, who was originally assigned number 1, dropped to number 5 but remained within the winning range.

The Future Korea Party's Nomination Management Committee tentatively finalized the proportional representation nomination list with these details on the 23rd and confirmed it after a vote by the electorate.

The biggest change in the Future Korea Party’s proportional representation list, which underwent internal turmoil equivalent to a re-founding including a party leader change, is that many talents recruited by the Korea Party were placed in winning positions. Former Korea Association of Persons with Physical Disabilities Secretary-General Lee Jong-sung (22nd → 4th), former National History Compilation Committee member Jung Kyung-hee (27th → 7th), and lawyer Jeon Ju-hye (23rd → 15th) all rose in rank. Choi Seung-jae, head of the Small Business Survival Rights Movement Coalition, Ji Seong-ho, CEO of Now, and Heo Eun-ah, director of the Korea Image Strategy Institute, who were not previously ranked, received numbers 10, 12, and 19 respectively. Lawmaker Jung Un-cheon also moved up from 18th to 16th.

On the other hand, Kim Ye-ji, a visually impaired pianist recruited independently under the Han Seon-gyo leadership of the Future Korea Party, was readjusted from number 3 to 11. Former Joint Chiefs of Staff Deputy Director Shin Won-sik (2nd → 8th), former Foreign Ministry 1st Vice Minister Cho Tae-yong (4th → 6th), former Korea Women’s Venture Association President Lee Young (7th → 13th), bobsleigh and skeleton national team head coach Lee Yong (10th → 18th), and Korean Federation of Trade Unions Standing Vice Chairman Park Dae-soo (12th → 14th) also dropped in rank but secured winning positions.

Additionally, former MBC announcer Shin Dong-ho fell from 32nd, and Bang Sang-hyuk, full-time vice chairman of the Korean Medical Association, dropped to 22nd. Among candidates originally assigned within the top 20, eight, including lawyer Kim Jeong-hyun, YouTuber Woo Won-jae, and Korea Party Jeonnam Provincial Party Chairman Kwon Ae-young, were excluded from the list.
