Han Dong-hoon, chairman of the People's Power Emergency Countermeasures Committee, begins preparations for the general election...Completion of the official management committee next week = South Korea

After Han Dong-hoon, chairman of the People's Power (ruling party) emergency task force, completed the selection of key leadership personnel leading up to next year's general election, preparations for the upcoming general election are gaining momentum.
The plan is to complete the configuration of the certified management committee as early as next week. It appears that the party is working hard to prepare for the general election by creating an atmosphere of ``personnel reform'' both inside and outside the party.
After taking office as official on the 28th, Chairman Han completed the formation of the emergency task force, which is the party leadership, in two days, and appointed major party members such as the secretary general and director of the Yeouido Research Institute.

In line with the 'personnel reform' tone shown in the selection of the emergency task force and major party executives, the general election will be composed mainly of personnel from 'non-politicians' who can swing the cutoff to their heart's content, and will be officially recognized.
This means that there is a high possibility that they will be given authority. Among them, the possibility of selecting a person from the legal profession as the chairman of the certified management committee is being discussed.
In some quarters, concerns have been raised that the key positions in the ruling party ahead of the general election will be dominated by the legal profession, following Chairman Han from the prosecutor's office.
