The People Power Party announced on May 14 that it has appointed Hajunghwan, a member of the Daegu Metropolitan Council (Chair of the Operations Committee, Dalseong District 1), as a deputy spokesperson for the party's central office.


Having served two consecutive terms as a member of the Dalseong County Council (7th and 8th terms), Hajunghwan entered the 9th Daegu Metropolitan Council. Since his election, he has consistently served as spokesperson for the Daegu City Party, establishing himself as a political and communications-oriented figure.

Hajunghwan has also demonstrated a strong presence in his legislative activities. As Chair of the Operations Committee during the latter half of the council term and as a member of the Culture and Welfare Committee, he has consecutively sponsored ordinance bills in areas such as youth, welfare, and tourism. In particular, he has taken active steps to improve systems supporting vulnerable groups, such as sponsoring the ordinance bill to support standard workplaces for people with disabilities.


Additionally, he has stood out in nationwide legislative networks, such as the National Association of Operations Committee Chairs of Provincial and Metropolitan Councils, by proposing recommendations to improve systems for preventing rental fraud.


Recently, as chief spokesperson for the campaign of Daegu mayoral candidate Chu Kyungho, he has taken a leading role in election messaging and media relations, serving as a key communications channel for the campaign. This field experience is seen as a factor in his selection as deputy spokesperson for the central party. In local political circles, there is also commentary that the People Power Party appointed Hajunghwan as deputy spokesperson in recognition of the importance of the Daegu field as the election nears its end.



Hajunghwan stated, "Having served in local legislatures, election campaigns, and as city party spokesperson, I will faithfully fulfill the role of bridging local public sentiment with the central party's messaging."
