Gyeonggi-do Policy Advisory Committee Launched... Active for 2 Years Providing Advice on Current Policy Issues

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] On the 1st, Kim Dong-yeon, Governor of Gyeonggi Province, appointed 11 members including Chairman Kang Seong-cheon to the Provincial Advisory Committee.

The appointed members will lead the committee for two years by not only providing policy advice on important issues in Gyeonggi Province by sector but also actively participating in practical ways.

The province explained that the appointees were selected from various fields including the central government and academia, with rich knowledge and experience in specialized areas such as innovation and communication with residents.

The appointed members are ▲ Kang Seong-cheon, former Vice Minister of the Ministry of SMEs and Startups ▲ Lee Young-joo, Director of the Human Rights Counseling Center at Seoul National University ▲ Kwon Hyun-ji, Professor of Sociology at Seoul National University ▲ Kim Nam-guk, Professor of Political Science at Korea University ▲ Kim Jeong-tae, CEO of the social enterprise impact investment firm MYSC ▲ Min Seung-gyu, former Vice Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs ▲ Park Hyun-wook, Professor of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at KAIST ▲ Yang Dong-su, CEO of social innovation company The Ham ▲ Lee Seong, former Mayor of Guro District, Seoul ▲ Cha Jeong-hoon, Director of Startup Venture Innovation Office at the Ministry of SMEs and Startups ▲ Choi Seon-young, CEO of the creative group Bigija.

The members will not only provide policy advice but also attend various communication events such as meetings and forums to express their opinions, thereby performing practical advisory functions rather than merely formal consultation.

Furthermore, the Provincial Advisory Committee will support the operation of the 'Red Team' promised by Governor Kim Dong-yeon.

At a press conference on the 11th of last month, Governor Kim announced plans to operate a Red Team that critically reviews provincial administration, raises issues and disagreements, and seeks new alternatives.

The Red Team refers to an organization assigned the role of discovering and attacking vulnerabilities within the organization to review and supplement the organization's strategy.

At the appointment ceremony, Governor Kim said, "I sincerely thank all the distinguished individuals who willingly accepted the advisory positions on behalf of the residents. I have no intention whatsoever of making this advisory committee a formal body that merely receives advice like ordinary government offices. If that were the case, I would not have created it. I hope you will communicate with me and each department to play a practical role that helps provincial administration. I hope you will take initiative and actively engage according to the situation."

Chairman Kang Seong-cheon responded, "As the Governor said, we will strive together with the members to make this committee not a formal one but a practical advisory body that contributes even a little to the development of Gyeonggi Province administration."
