President Yoon is particularly recognized for his outstanding organizational management skills gained through various experiences. Based on his diverse experience and expertise accumulated in the public sector, private sector, and politics, as well as his network and deep understanding of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration’s national governance philosophy, he is expected to address the current issues of Korea Water Resources Corporation’s water, energy, and smart city construction projects from the perspective of the public.

On the same day, former National Assembly member Lee Hak-jae will be inaugurated as the 10th president of Incheon International Airport Corporation. President Lee served as the mayor of Seo-gu, Incheon from 2002 to 2007 and was a member of the National Assembly representing Incheon from the 18th to the 20th sessions between 2008 and 2020. Last year, he ran as the People Power Party candidate for mayor of Incheon but lost in the party primary to the current mayor, Yoo Jeong-bok. Although there was speculation about his possible candidacy in the general election next April, he chose the position of president of Incheon International Airport Corporation.

Six candidates applied for the president position this time. On the afternoon of the 14th, the corporation held a shareholders’ meeting and discussed four candidates who passed the personnel screening by the corporation’s executive recommendation committee and the Ministry of Economy and Finance’s public institution management committee, ultimately recommending President Lee as the final candidate.
