[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] The transition committee for Governor-elect Kim Dong-yeon of Gyeonggi Province officially launched on the 9th.

Co-chairmen of the transition committee were appointed as former Suwon Mayor Yeom Tae-young and NeoFect CEO Ban Ho-young, and vice chairmen were former National Pension Service Chairman Kim Yong-jin, respectively.

The transition committee will have 20 members working across 6 divisions, 3 special committees, and 1 task force (TF). The six divisions are ▲ Planning and Finance (Attorney Choi Eun-sook, Jo Seong-eun, Director of Communication Strategy Institute, Lee Won-jae, CEO of Lab2050) ▲ Policy Coordination (Yoon Deok-ryong, KDI Research Fellow, Lee Young-joo, Director of Seoul National University Human Rights Research Institute) ▲ Economy (Moon Woon-sik, Professor at Seoul National University Graduate School of International Studies, Bae Hyun-gi, former CEO of Hana Financial Economic Research Institute) ▲ Housing and Transportation (Kim Sun-hee, Director of Suwon City Policy Research Institute, Yoo Jung-hoon, Professor of Transportation Systems Engineering at Ajou University) ▲ Social Welfare (Min So-young, Professor of Social Welfare at Kyonggi University, Lee Ja-hyung, proportional representative elect of Gyeonggi Provincial Assembly) ▲ Local Administration (Kim Yoo-im, former member of Gyeonggi Provincial Assembly, So Soon-chang, Professor at Konkuk University).

The three special committees are Northern Gyeonggi Special Autonomous Province (Son Kyung-sik, former Deputy Mayor of Uijeongbu City), Solidarity and Cooperation (Yoon Deok-ryong, KDI Research Fellow), and SMEs-Startups (Lee Woo-jin, Professor at Kookmin University). Notably, the Solidarity and Cooperation special committee is responsible for promoting reasonable pledges or common pledges proposed by the opposing candidate.

Although not a transition committee member, Governor-elect Kim also appointed Professor Min Seung-gyu of Hankyong National University as a member of the Future Agriculture and Fisheries Innovation Task Force (TF) to work within the transition committee.

Governor-elect Kim expressed expectations, saying, "If you look at the members of the transition committee, you will see that it is composed mainly of 'work'-oriented and expertise-focused individuals," and added, "I believe the transition committee will practically create a blueprint for the residents that transcends political factions."

The transition committee will operate until the 30th and can be extended until the 20th of next month if necessary. The current Local Autonomy Act stipulates that the transition committee can operate until 20 days after the start date of the governor-elect's term (July 1).

Meanwhile, the transition committee office has been set up at the Future Hall of the Gyeonggi Human Resources Development Institute in Jangan-gu, Suwon, and the slogan is "Center of Change, Opportunity Gyeonggi."
