The chairman of the emergency committee will be elected today (13th) to lead the Korean Medical Association, which has created a leadership vacuum due to the impeachment of former chairman Lim Hyun-taek.

Each of the candidates emphasized the struggle against the government, and the representative of the major, who holds the key to resolving the legislative conflict, supports a specific candidate, drawing attention to the election results.

Reporter Kwon Min-seok's report.

[Reporter]
The emergency committee chairman of the Korean Medical Association will be decided in three days to replace former chairman Lim Hyun-taek, who resigned in disgrace six months after taking office.

A total of four people voted for the emergency committee chairman.

These are Park Hyung-wook, vice chairman of the Korean Medical Association, Lee Dong-wook, chairman of the Gyeonggi-do Medical Association, Ju Jin-gu, chairman of the Korean Hospital Medical Association, and Hwang Gyu-seok, chairman of the Seoul Metropolitan Medical Association.

With the resolution of the legislative conflict that has been going on for nine months, there are more voices calling for a change in the government's attitude than blind dialogue.

[Park Hyung-wook / Vice President of the Korean Medical Association: The government's dogmatic attitude is to prevent genuine dialogue. If the government does not abandon its dogmatic attitude, no matter what council it operates, the time bomb of medical breakdown will eventually explode.]

[Lee Dong-wook / Chairman of Gyeonggi-do Provincial Government: The Yoon Suk Yeol government is very arrogant and unilateral, so I have no choice but to doubt what kind of negotiations can be made without any struggle.]

Medical organizations participating in the ruling and opposition-government consultative body should be withdrawn.Or,

[Ji Su-gu / Chairman of the Korean Hospital Doctors' Council: What is now included in the Yeouido Council should be withdrawn, I think. The reason is that even the Council of Majors has opposed it and it's meaningless....]

Some argued that they would fight for their lives before the regular recruitment next month, which is the Maginot Line.

[Hwang Kyu-seok / Seoul Metropolitan Government President: There is an early admission announcement on Dec. 13, and the last train is left before the regular schedule at the end of December. In a month, someone has to fight for their junior by risking their life as a senior.]

In particular, the representative of Park Dan-jik, who demanded and carried out the impeachment of former chairman Lim, publicly supported Vice Chairman Park Hyung-wook in the chat room of the medical association delegates.

Some complain that it is excessive intervention, and we are interested in who will get the votes that are hard to ignore the major's position.

244 delegates from the Medical Association will vote for four candidates on mobile, and if there is no majority vote in the first round, a runoff election will be held to confirm the chairman of the emergency committee.
