In the April 15 general elections for the 17th National Assembly, seven CNU people including Prof. Jee Byong-moon were elected. Seven winners of the general elections are Kang Ki-jeong (CNU alumnus), Kim Ae-sil (former professor), Woo Yoon-keun (alumnus), Lee Young-ho (former professor), Lee Jung-il (alumnus), Jee Byong-moon (current professor), and Choi Jae-chun (alumnus). Prof. Jee Byong-moon, currently teaching at the Dept. of Political Science, College of Social Sciences, has been leading diverse social movements including the enactment of citizen summon ordinance. He launched a public signature-collecting drive urging the enactment of the local government ordinance and about 19,000 citizens joined the movement. It was the first achievement in Korea which would surely bring about clean politics. Prof. Jee expressed his thanks to his colleagues, students, senior school mates, and the university administrative staff members for their encouragement and support. “I will exert my utmost effort to realize clean politics in our nation and I will also contribute to the development of CNU. Before I join the 17th National Assembly, set to open late next month, I will fulfill my duty as professor to make classes done right as scheduled for the school affairs,” said Prof. Jee.

He succeeded in taking a seat at the National Assembly again. While he worked as a representative of the 16th National Assembly, he was a member of the agriculture & fishery committee.
