Bae Bok-joo, former vice-chairperson of the Justice Party, who was a controversial figure during the merger process with the Reform New Party, was placed at the last spot, number 13.


On the 18th, Saeroun Mirae announced the order of 13 candidates for the 22nd proportional representation election. Although 15 candidates were initially announced, two withdrew, finalizing the list at 13.

Yang previously served as chairperson of the Democratic Party of Korea's National University Students Committee before switching to Saeroun Mirae last month.
