Han Dong-hoon, Emergency Response Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, revealed the list of 10 nomination management committee members who will oversee the party's candidate screening at the 4th Emergency Response Committee meeting held at the Busan Port International Exhibition & Convention Center on the 11th. The committee consists of three party insiders, including the previously announced Nomination Management Committee Chairman Jeong Young-hwan, and six external members. All external members have no political experience.

Ex officio members include Secretary-General Jang Dong-hyeok and Assemblymen Lee Cheol-gyu and Lee Jong-seong. External members joining are Moon Hye-young, attorney at law firm Sejong; Yoo Il-jun, former Public Service Discipline Secretary at the Office of Civil Affairs; Yoon Seung-joo, professor of anesthesiology and pain medicine at Korea University College of Medicine; Jeon Jong-hak, chief patent attorney at Kyungeun International Patent Law Office; Jeon Hye-jin, vice president of the Korean Hotel, Food and Tourism Management Association; and Hwang Hyung-jun, managing partner at Boston Consulting Group Korea.

The composition of the nomination committee reflects Chairman Han’s Emergency Response Committee appointment policy, symbolized by the 789 generation. Among the six external members, four were born in the 1970s, forming the core group. Committee member Moon was born in 1979, holds a master's degree in law from Seoul National University Graduate School, and currently works as an attorney at law firm Sejong. He is the youngest member of the nomination committee.

The nomination committee is expected to operate for the next 10 weeks. Based on the party audit results, it plans to pursue systematic candidate selection and avoid artificial candidate exclusion (cut-off). Meanwhile, there is also an interpretation that the committee may accelerate generational change and the replacement of senior figures in the Yeongnam region. It is known that in key areas such as Daegu and Gyeongbuk (TK), the plan is to nominate candidates centered on "people who can win."

Along with the nomination committee appointments on this day, the party position appointments under Han Dong-hoon’s Emergency Response Committee system were finalized. Kim Jong-hyeok, chairman of the Goyang City B constituency party committee in Gyeonggi Province, was appointed as Deputy Head of Organization, Kim Soo-min, chairman of the Cheongju City Cheongwon-gu constituency party committee in Chungbuk Province, was appointed as Head of Public Relations, and Bae Jun-young remained as Deputy Head of Strategic Planning.
