Y Party Talent Committee Announces Youth Talents Lee Sang-gyu, Han Jeong-min, Lee Young-hoon... "Hope to Run in the Capital Area"

All Three Have Youth Organization Activity Records
Hope to Run in Districts Without Current People Power Party Incumbents

The People Power Party's Talent Recruitment Committee announced on the 31st that it has additionally recruited three national talents, including Lee Sang-gyu, president of the Korea Youth Rental Housing Association. All three have experience in youth organizations and hope to run for local constituencies.

On the same day, Cho Jeong-hoon, a member of the People Power Party's Talent Recruitment Committee, introduced the recruits at the Yeouido party headquarters as "field experts who have taken the lead in solving various problems faced by Korean youth and preparing tailored alternatives."

Cho said, "Lee Sang-gyu, president of the Korea Youth Rental Housing Association, has been actively engaged in policy activities related to the construction of youth rental housing to solve housing problems nationwide for young people," adding, "He is a talent who has given new hope to youth by publishing books related to the food service industry based on his long business experience." Lee hopes to run in the Gangbuk area of Seoul.

Han Jeong-min, a researcher at Samsung Electronics' DS Division, has been connected to semiconductor research since 2010, starting as a semiconductor researcher at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology and currently working at Samsung Electronics. Cho said, "Han is not only a semiconductor expert but also founded and operated the social cooperative Youth Drawer," adding, "Researcher Han hopes to run in an external area of Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province." External areas refer to regions without incumbent People Power Party lawmakers.

Lee Young-hoon, former president of the Korea Junior Chamber (JC), is the second-ever president from the Gwangju-Jeonnam region among past presidents. Lee is currently in discussions with the party over two or three external areas in the Seoul metropolitan area. The party stated that these individuals will be a great asset in solving youth issues in Korea and establishing youth policies for the People Power Party through their diverse youth organization activities.

The People Power Party's Talent Recruitment Committee plans to continue recruitment activities until Lunar New Year or shortly thereafter. Cho said, "It is still difficult because the election law related to proportional representation has not been finalized," adding, "We plan to complete recruitment of talents hoping to run for local constituencies by the end of this week and continue recruiting proportional representation talents around the Lunar New Year."

He also said, "I believe the Democratic Party is deliberately delaying the finalization of the proportional representation election law due to party interests such as checking the new party led by Lee Nak-yeon," adding, "We strongly demand that the Democratic Party promptly finalize the proportional representation election law."
