In Yo-han Appointed Chairman of Innovation Committee, Predicts Profound Change
The Impact on General Elections and Gangwon Political Landscape
In a significant development, the People’s Power Party has appointed In Yo-han, a 64-year-old medical professor from Yonsei University, as the Chairman of the Innovation Committee. This decision is expected to have far-reaching implications, especially as the general elections are just five months away. The political landscape in Gangwon-do, known for its conservative sentiments, is also likely to witness complex calculations. Depending on the direction set by the Innovation Committee, we can expect other repercussions in this region.
An Outsider with Strong Leadership Authority
Chairman In, the great-grandson of Eugene Bell, a renowned Korean missionary, brings an outsider perspective to the party. His contributions to the Republic of Korea were recognized in 2012 when he became the first person to receive special naturalization. His appointment has sparked both expectations and concerns within the political sphere. As an individual with no affiliation to any particular faction, In is expected to gain the complete trust of the party’s leadership authority. The level of his reform plan will play a crucial role in determining future nomination rules for the general elections.
A New Management Statement for Innovation
In his first meeting with reporters at the People Power Party headquarters in Seoul, Chairman In referenced former Samsung Chairman Lee Kun-hee’s renowned statement, “Change everything except your wife and children.” In line with this, he expressed his determination to introduce an innovative scheme that corresponds to the needs of the party. Additionally, Chairman In emphasized the importance of promoting integration and urged party members not to harbor animosity despite differing opinions. This has led to speculations about a possible restoration of relations with former leader Lee Jun-seok and former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min, who have been sources of conflict within the party. Various interpretations from political circles in the province are weighing the potential gains and losses.
Support for the Innovation Committee
Senior floor speaker Park Jeong-ha, who is also the People Power Party’s provincial party chairman, voiced support for the In Yo-han Innovation Committee. He emphasized the committee’s role in boldly breaking existing practices and implementing the people’s mandate for innovation. Park stressed that not only the Gangwon Provincial Party but also all party associations and local government heads should embrace this spirit of innovation.
Representative Lee Cheol-gyu, who previously held the position of Secretary General of the People Power Party, expressed confidence in Chairman In’s ability to recruit necessary talent and bring a fresh breeze to the party. He believes that In’s appointment will greatly aid the party in winning the upcoming general election.
On the other hand, Representative Han Ki-ho highlighted the advantages and disadvantages of Chairman In’s relative lack of deep exposure to the political scene.

Gangwon political constituency calculations are also becoming more complicated. Furthermore, as Gangwon-do is a region with strong conservative sentiments such as Daegu and Gyeongbuk, other repercussions are expected to be inevitable depending on the direction of the Innovation Committee.

At the same time, regarding the background for accepting the chairman of the Innovation Committee, he said, “If I sum it up in one word, I would like to promote ‘integration,'” and added, “Let’s not hate people even if their minds are different.” As this suggests the restoration of relations with former leader Lee Jun-seok and former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min, which is causing conflict within the party, interpretations from the political circles in the province are also coming out in various ways, weighing the gains and losses.
Senior floor speaker Park Jeong-ha (Wonju-gap), who also serves as the People Power Party’s provincial party chairman, said, “The Inyohan Innovation Committee will implement the people’s mandate to boldly break existing practices and innovate,” by added, “Not only the Gangwon Provincial Party, but also the heads of all party associations and local government, “Any member of a local council is a target of innovation,” he stressed.
