[Asia Economy Reporter Won Dara] The Democratic Party of Korea has appointed lawyer Park Kyung-jun as a member of the High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Agency Chief Candidate Recommendation Committee.
The Democratic Party's Recommendation Committee for the Chief of the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) announced on the 20th that it had decided to recommend lawyer Park.
Lawyer Park is the representative attorney of the law firm Inui and a standing executive committee member of the Citizens' Coalition for Economic Justice (Gyeongsilryeon). He has served as a special subcommittee member for improving the Ministry of Justice's class action system, a reform advisory committee member for the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, and a member of the Fair Trade Commission's Franchise Business Transaction Dispute Mediation Council. He graduated from Chuncheon High School and Yonsei University’s Department of Law and completed the 33rd Judicial Research and Training Institute.

Having spent most of his legal career advocating for the underprivileged and listening to the voices of marginalized people, he is expected to provide diverse and broad recommendations as an expert in fairness for the CIO chief candidate."
