This is the first time in the history of Gyeonggi Province that two former National Assembly members have simultaneously participated in the provincial government.


Gyeonggi Province expects that this personnel appointment will add momentum to Governor Kim Dong-yeon's administration in its second half.



Ko Young-in, Deputy Governor for Economic Affairs, said, "I am very pleased and feel an immense sense of responsibility to take on the important role of Deputy Governor for Economic Affairs in Gyeonggi Province, the largest metropolitan local government in South Korea and a leader of the future. Drawing on my experience in the Gyeonggi Provincial Council, which was the first in South Korea to introduce free school meals, I will do my best to become a Deputy Governor who works with Governor Kim Dong-yeon to create a ‘Gyeonggi at the center of change and opportunity’ and a ‘Gyeonggi where tomorrow is more promising than today.’"
