This appointment ceremony was held due to the expiration of the terms of the previous committee members. On this day, the City Council appointed seven new members—experts from academia, the legal community, and other fields—for a two-year term. During the meeting held after the ceremony, Jinwook Han was elected as chairperson and Kwangsoo Jeon was elected as vice chairperson.

Chairman Ilman Kim stated, "As representatives and advocates of the residents, members of local councils are required to uphold the highest standards of integrity and fairness in performing their duties. I expect the committee members to provide rational and fair advice so that the Council can become a trustworthy and transparent body in the eyes of our citizens."
