In Yohan: "Kim Gi-hyeon Grants Authority to Innovation Committee to an Alarming Degree"

Meeting at Central Party Headquarters on the Afternoon of the 23rd
"Give Us Time to Study"... Innovation Committee Launch Foretells Delay

In Yohan, the Innovation Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, emphasized on the 23rd that "(Representative Kim) said he would give me an almost frightening amount of authority."

On the afternoon of the 23rd, In introduced this conversation he had with Representative Kim during their first official meeting and meal at the People Power Party central office.

In said, "Representative Kim came in very boldly and said, 'Do not just follow our (party's) will, but sincerely help us find the right direction to move forward.'"

Concerns arose in political circles due to In's lack of political experience, leading to remarks requesting "more time." In stated, "I worked at a university hospital for 32 years, so this is a completely new endeavor," adding, "What I ask for is time, an opportunity. I need to do a lot of preparation and review to learn."

He also expressed expectations about the 'same-age chemistry' with Representative Kim. When In said, "(Representative Kim) is neither an older nor younger brother, but the same age. Because we are the same age, our conversations are very comfortable," Kim smiled and jokingly replied, "I was born a few months earlier, so I am the older brother."

Representative Kim emphasized In's past achievements and asked him to be active within the party as well. He said, "Just as Professor In developed the Korean-style ambulance and gave much hope to the people, if you demonstrate creative power like the Korean-style ambulance in the People Power Party, it would greatly help our party mature and become a party loved by the people."

Earlier that morning, In met with reporters and cited a remark by the late Lee Kun-hee, former chairman of Samsung Group, saying, "Everything except the wife and children must be changed," thereby lending strength to the 'In Yohan Innovation Committee.' Representative Kim said, "I saw through the media that Professor In made such a statement. You can confirm the huge public support on the internet," adding, "With that attitude, we will carry out the Innovation Committee activities and our party will also faithfully follow the will of the people."
