President Lee Jae-myung appointed Park Mi-kyung, chair of the Gwangju Environmental Movement Association, as the chair of the Light Committee on June 26.

Chief Blue House Spokesperson Kang Yu-jung announced the appointment in a written briefing.

Kang stated, "Chairwoman Park has dedicated the past 30 years to the advancement of civil society and democracy, serving as co-representative of the Civil Society Organization Federation and national co-representative of the Environmental Movement Association. We believe she is well-suited to honor the citizens who defended the Constitution and democracy during the Light Revolution against insurrection and to promote the status of K-Democracy both domestically and internationally."

Kang expressed hope that Park's deep understanding of citizen democracy and her communication skills would enhance the integrity of K-Democracy, supporting a government of popular sovereignty.

The Light Committee was established as a presidential committee to honor the dedication and spirit of the citizens who defended the Constitution and democracy during the state of emergency on December 3, 2024, against armed soldiers.
