Daegu Mayor-Elect Chu Kyung-ho Forms Transition Team, Vows to Face Legal Issues Confidently

Daegu Mayor-elect Chu Kyung-ho has established a transition committee, prioritizing a "practical, communication-oriented, and field-focused" approach with a minimal organizational structure. Former lawmaker Kwak Dae-hoon will chair the committee, which includes five other members selected for their diverse expertise in administration, politics, and civic society.

“

Chairman Kwak has the best career across various fields such as administration, politics, and civil society, so I appointed him as chairman. The transition committee will operate efficiently with a minimized scale. We will communicate with various segments of civil society and incorporate as many voices from the field as possible to organize current issues.

Chu stated that Kwak was chosen for his extensive experience and that the committee's small size will ensure efficient operations. He emphasized a commitment to incorporating the voices of various community members and addressing pressing local issues.

Addressing his own legal challenges, Chu, who is facing charges related to inciting rebellion, asserted his intention to "confidently respond" to any "judicial risks" by providing explanations based on "law and principle." He is scheduled to attend court hearings starting next week.

“

As I have said so far, I will confidently respond to and overcome the necessary parts based on law and principle.

In a gesture of respect and gratitude, Chu plans to visit former President Park Geun-hye at her residence in Daegu later today. He cited her support during the election campaign and her status as a former president residing in Daegu as reasons for the visit.

“

Former President Park is a former president residing in Daegu, and she supported me during the election process, so it is only right that I visit her in person to express my thanks.
