Kwon Oh-jung, a former vice mayor for political affairs of Sejong Special Self-Governing City, has been tapped as the new head of Woowa Youths, which is in charge of logistics services for Baemin.
According to Woowa Youths on the 11th, Woowa Brothers plans to convene a board meeting soon to appoint the former vice mayor for political affairs, Kwon, as the new head of Woowa Youths.
The appointee, Kwon, is an administrative expert who has worked at the Presidential Secretariat, the Prime Minister's Secretariat, and local governments. During the Participatory Government, Kwon served in the Presidential Secretariat as an administrator for civil affairs, legal affairs, and public service discipline. Kwon later served as Director for Audit and Inspection at Eunpyeong-gu Office, then as chief of staff to the first Seoul mayor and as senior secretary for political affairs. Kwon went on to become head of civil affairs at the Prime Minister's Secretariat, and later served as vice mayor for political affairs and vice mayor for economic affairs of Sejong Special Self-Governing City.
Building on broad public administration experience, the appointee, Kwon, is expected to lead platform logistics and rider co-prosperity. In particular, with rider safety growing in importance in the delivery industry recently, it appears the company aims to bolster business stability by appointing Kwon as head.
Kim Yong-seok, an executive vice president who heads Woowa Brothers' External Communications Center, is expected to step down from the concurrent post of Woowa Youths head, which Kim has held since Aug. last year.
