Yes, the Korean Medical Association held a five-hour election for the emergency committee chairman from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. today.

Park Hyung-wook, vice chairman of the Korean Medical Association, Lee Dong-wook, chairman of the Gyeonggi-do Provincial Medical Association, Ju Jin-gu, chairman of the Korean Hospital Medical Association, and Hwang Kyu-seok, chairman of the Seoul Metropolitan Medical Association, were candidates.

Of the 244 delegates, 233 voted for the four via mobile.

As a result of the vote count, Vice Chairman Park Hyung-wook was elected as the emergency chairman of the Korean Medical Association with 123 votes and 52.79% of the votes.

Chairman Park must now deal with the atmosphere inside the medical association, which is the only legal doctor's group and the largest.

Just three days ago, former chairman Lim Hyun-taek was impeached and resigned six months after taking office,
Before the appointment of the next chairman
, it is urgent to play a role in combating the chaotic situation and rallying voices from the medical community.

Above all, it is important to restore communication channels with medical students who have been distancing themselves from the medical association.

Chairman Park emphasized that the operation of the emergency committee will fully reflect the opinions of medical students who have been marginalized.

He also urged the government to change its attitude, saying that dialogue is possible only when the time bomb of the government's medical breakdown is stopped.

He said that only the president of Yoon Suk Yeol can improve the policy that will bring medical doctors back to the hospital, and that it is difficult to solve the problem unless the president changes.

In an extension of this judgment, he drew a line that he thought it would be difficult to participate in the ruling-opposition parliamentary consultative body, which was launched the day before yesterday (11th).

Chairman Park previously received public support from 72 representatives of hospital majors, including the representative of Park Dan.

Representative Park Dan posted a message in the chat room of representatives of the Medical Association that he recommended Vice Chairman Park Hyung-wook as the chairman of the emergency committee.

In response to the support of a specific candidate, the chairmen of the parliamentary committee sent a warning to Park Dan not to affect the election.

Nevertheless, the delegates seem to have referred to the major's position, which holds the key to resolving the legislative conflict, in this election.

The emergency committee chairman can also run in the next presidential election, but Park has expressed his intention not to come forward.
