On the 20th, presidential candidate Yoon Seok-yeol met with Kim Jong-in, who is likely to be the general election chairman, and exchanged opinions on the election of the presidential election.
At this meeting, it was reported that a de facto agreement had been reached on the joining of former Vice Chairman Kim Byung-jun and former Democratic Party leader Kim Han-gil.
Lee Yang-soo, senior spokesman for the previous committee, said in a notice distributed to the press on the same day, “At 1:30 pm today, Candidate Yoon and former Chairman Kim Byung-jun met at Kim Jong-in’s personal office in Gwanghwamun.”
“Ex-Chairman Kim Jong-in agreed to the appointment of Kim Byung-jun as the permanent election chairman,” he said.
The National Integration Committee, which is formed separately from the previous committee, is expected to be led by former CEO Han-gil Kim.
Senior Spokesperson Lee Yang-soo said, “Candidate Yoon will meet Kim Han-gil, who will serve as the chairman of the National Reconciliation Committee, tomorrow at 2 pm at Kim’s office in Dongbu Ichon-dong.”
“We plan to discuss all matters related to the launch of the National Reconciliation Committee,” said Senior Spokesperson Lee.
With this, former Chairman Kim Jong-in will be the general election chairman, former chairman Kim Byung-jun as the joint election chairman, and former chairman Kim Jong-un as the national harmony chairman, respectively.
The full lineup of senior leaders is expected to be outlined as early as next week.
