[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] Kim Han-gil, chairman of the New Era Preparation Committee directly under Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate, abruptly tendered his resignation on the 3rd.

Kim's side stated that day, "Chairman Kim felt a strong sense of responsibility for failing to overcome the misunderstandings imposed on Shin Ji-ye, the chief vice chairman who resigned, and expressed his resignation to candidate Yoon."

Vice Chairman Shin, known as a prominent feminist figure, resigned that day amid gender conflict controversies within the party following her recruitment. Previously, Chairman Kim had led the effort to recruit Vice Chairman Shin.

Chairman Kim released a separate statement that day regarding Vice Chairman Shin's resignation, calling it "a regrettable outcome caused by the serious gender debate in our society" and described it as "a sad and unfortunate matter."
