The People Power Party officially recommended Han Dong-hoon, Minister of Justice, as the party's Emergency Response Committee Chairperson. Yoon Jae-ok, acting party leader and floor leader of the People Power Party, who holds the authority to recommend the chairperson, said, "Minister Han will be the youngest and most innovative chairperson the Emergency Response Committee can have."


Acting leader Yoon announced at an emergency press briefing, "We have decided to recommend Minister Han Dong-hoon as the chairperson of the People Power Party's Emergency Response Committee."


He stated, "The chairperson who will lead the People Power Party now bears the heavy responsibility of leading next year's general election, which will determine the livelihood of the people and the nation's future, so the selection criteria are important. First, the person must meet the public's expectations for change, reform, and the future, and be able to push forward political culture reforms such as parliamentary reform beyond party innovation. Minister Han will be the youngest and most innovative chairperson to achieve this."


He continued, "In terms of party-government relations, the chairperson must be able to respond to public opinion by enhancing the quality of communication based on trust, draw empathy from youth and centrist groups, and reunite our party's conservative support base," introducing the selection conditions.


Acting leader Yoon said, "Minister Han Dong-hoon is a figure recommended by many inside and outside the party, and during the opinion-gathering process, expectations for his role were the highest," adding, "If he takes on the chairperson role, it is certain that he will change the People Power Party and South Korean politics as the youngest and most innovative chairperson."

To finalize the schedule for Minister Han's appointment as chairperson, the People Power Party is expected to hold an executive meeting this afternoon and convene a national committee meeting next week. After going through the approval procedures of the executive committee and the national committee, Minister Han will be officially appointed as the chairperson of the People Power Party's Emergency Response Committee.
