Yoo Sang-beom, Jeon Ju-hye, Eom Tae-young, Kim Yong-tae Named as Opposition Emergency Committee Members... "Regional Balance" (Comprehensive)

Jung Jeomsik as Policy Committee Chair... Seong Iljong as Secretary-General, Bae Junyoung as Floor Leader
Tomorrow, Appointment of Nominated Emergency Committee Members Approved... Majority Pro-Yoon Faction

Hwang Woo-yeo, Chairman of the People Power Party Emergency Response Committee, appointed lawmakers Yoo Sang-beom, Jeon Ju-hye, Eom Tae-young, and newly elected Kim Yong-tae as nominated members of the Emergency Response Committee.

Senior spokesperson Yoon Hee-seok announced this lineup of Emergency Response Committee members and party positions at the National Assembly on the 12th.

The party’s decision-making body, the Standing National Committee, will approve the appointments on the 13th, and if the nomination of the Policy Committee Chair, an ex officio Emergency Response Committee member, is ratified at the early-week party caucus, the 'Hwang Woo-yeo Emergency Response Committee' will officially launch as a seven-member body.

Lawmakers Yoo (Gangwon Hongcheon·Hoengseong·Yeongwol·Pyeongchang) and Eom (Chungbuk Jecheon·Danyang) are serving their second terms in the 22nd National Assembly, while newly elected Kim (Gyeonggi Pocheon·Gapyeong) is entering the National Assembly for the first time. Currently a first-term lawmaker, Jeon (Seoul Gangdong-gap) lost in this general election. Yoo, Jeon, and Eom are classified as pro-Yoon (pro-Yoon Seok-yeol) faction members. Kim is evaluated to have a relatively neutral factional stance.

For the ex officio Emergency Response Committee member position of Policy Committee Chair, Jung Jeom-sik (Gyeongnam Tongyeong·Goseong), who is entering his third term, has been nominated. Jung is also considered a pro-Yoon figure. Policy Committee Chair Jung will participate in the Emergency Response Committee as an ex officio member alongside Floor Leader Choo Kyung-ho. Thus, the new Emergency Response Committee will be dominated by mainstream pro-Yoon figures.

Senior spokesperson Yoon said regarding the nominated Emergency Response Committee members, "The main consideration was to form a working Emergency Response Committee, and regional balance was evenly distributed." Regarding the 'Hwang Woo-yeo Emergency Response Committee' being composed of seven members, fewer than the previous 'Han Dong-hoon Emergency Response Committee' (11 members), he explained, "Since it is a management-type Emergency Response Committee preparing for the party convention, the number was reduced to expedite the process."

The Emergency Response Committee will operate until the next party leadership is elected at the party convention, taking on tasks such as managing the party after the April 10 general election defeat and deciding the rules for the party convention race.

For the new Secretary-General, third-term lawmaker Sung Il-jong (Chungnam Seosan Taean) has been nominated. Floor Leader Choo nominated second-term lawmaker Bae Jun-young (Incheon Jung-gu·Ganghwa·Ongjin) as the new Deputy Floor Leader.

The Policy Committee Chair and Deputy Floor Leader must undergo ratification procedures at a future party caucus. The Secretary-General will be formally appointed after consultation within the Emergency Response Committee.
