Democratic Party lawmaker Jeon Jinsook (Gwangju Buk-gu Eul) announced on the 4th that she has received the 2024 National Audit Gukliminbok Award (Outstanding National Audit Lawmaker), presented by the National Audit NGO Monitoring Group under the Law Consumers' Federation. This marks her third award, following her selection as an outstanding lawmaker by the Citizens' Coalition for Economic Justice and the Democratic Party.

Representative Jeon has been recognized for identifying the collapse of people's livelihoods due to government policies that run counter to the times during last year's national audit, and for presenting effective alternatives.

Serving on the National Assembly's Health and Welfare Committee, Representative Jeon highlighted the medical crisis caused by the increase of 2,000 medical school admissions, such as the paralysis of emergency medical services and the departure of residents. She also pointed out the government's retreat from welfare, the weakening of public interest, and the move toward privatization in the proposed national pension reform.

Representative Jeon stated, "I approached the national audit with the determination to revive the livelihoods of the people, which have become difficult due to the incompetent and arrogant Yoon Suk-yeol administration, and I am pleased to have achieved such a good result. I am delighted to receive the Gukliminbok Award, which is directly evaluated and selected by the people, at the first national audit of the 22nd National Assembly," adding, "I will continue to look out for marginalized citizens and work to devise alternatives that can quickly restore people's livelihoods."

Meanwhile, the National Audit NGO Monitoring Group selects outstanding lawmakers (Gukliminbok Award) every year by comprehensively monitoring the entire national audit process with the participation of around 1,000 citizens, social organizations, university students, and experts from various fields.
