Early political career[]

Entry to the National Assembly[]

Prior to the 2000 election, Chung was brought into the Alliance of Liberal Democrats (ALDE) in 1999.[5][9] He became the Special Adviser to the then Honorary Chairman of the ALDE and the Prime Minister Kim Jong-pil on 16 September 1999.[16][17][18] From this time, he had been risen as the potential candidate for Gongju-Yeongi, which was also his father's former constituency.[17][18][19] As his father was not seeking the bid,[20] Chung won preselection for Gongju-Yeongi.[21][22] However, , the then MP for Yeongi who lost ALDE preselection, quit the party and joined the newly formed minor New Korea Party of Hope (NKPH).[23] Amid the 10-cornered fight, Chung barely elected to the National Assembly with approximately 25.2%; this made him as the winner with the lowest votes.[24][25]

The ruling consisted of the Millennium Democratic Party (MDP) and the Alliance of Liberal Democrats (ALDE) narrowly lost to the main opposition Grand National Party (GNP) amid internal conflicts between the ruling coalition. For the ALDE, the party only secured 17 seats that was 3 seats fall short of the minimum requirement to form a parliamentary group. Initially, the party was willing to ease the requirement from 20 to 10 seats,[26] but instead, the MDP sent 3 seats to the ALDE, which was controversial till the Deputy Chairman Kang Chang-hee opposed the decision, but was expelled from the party in the end.[27][28][29] As the party's future was seemed unclear, Chung urged the party to ensure its own identity, including reconcile with the MDP.[26][30] Despite of his effort, the DJP Alliance finally broke up on 3 September 2001 after the ALDE voted in favour of a motion of no-confidence against the Minister of Unification Lim Dong-won.[31] Following the collapse of the DJP Alliance, Chung was appointed Spokesperson of the ALDE on 12 October.[32][33]

In 2004, the National Assembly voted for the following his remarks that supporting the then de facto ruling Uri Party.[34] Despite the strong boycott of the Uri Party, 193 MPs from the 3 oppositions (GNP, MDP and ALDE) voted in favour of the impeachment, and Chung was one of them (only Lee Nak-yon and Kim Chong-hoh voted against).[35] The event, however, provoked a widespread anger among the people, which let the Uri Party to win the majority (152 out of 300 seats) at the 2004 election.[36] The ALDE only secured 4 seats; Chung also lost his seat to .[37] Nevertheless, he had an opportunity to return as Oh's election was annulled on 27 January 2005.[38] He subsequently withdrew from the ALDE[39] and ran as an independent candidate for Gongju-Yeongi at the .[40][41] He defeated the Uri candidate with a margin of 4,630 votes.[42]

People First Party[]

By the time he withdrew from the ALDE, Chung was widely speculated to join the proposed Hoseo-based localist conservative party, projected by the Governor of South Chungcheong and the Mayor of Daejeon ;[43][44] Yŏm instead joined the Uri Party.[45] On 19 October, the formation of the new party named the People First Party (PFP) was announced by several key figures including Shim, Chung and so on.[46][47]

However, on 14 December 2007, 5 days before the presidential election, Chung made an announcement to leave the PFP.[53][54] He did not mention the reasons clearly, but several newspapers suggested that he opposed the Shim's withdrawal in order to support the independent candidate Lee Hoi-chang, as he was in favour of the GNP candidate Lee Myung-bak.[53][54] Following the landslide victory of Lee, Chung officially joined the GNP on 17 January 2008.[55][56][57]

Government era (2008-2017)[]

After Chung joined the GNP, he immediately sought a re-election for Gongju-Yeongi at the 2008 election, but failed to become the candidate.[58][59][60] Instead, he ran 8th in the GNP list and was elected.[61][62][63] On 8 June 2010, he became the President of the Intelligence Committee of the National Assembly.[64]

Senior Secretary to the President for Political Affairs (2010-2011)[]

The GNP was undergoing internal conflicts between pro-Lee Myung-bak and pro-Park Geun-hye faction over several issues, including the construction of Sejong City.[71][72][73] One of Chung's first moves as Senior Secretary to the President for Political Affairs was the arbitration between Lee and Park.[74] He organised meetings between two key figures of the party at the Blue House;[10] the first was on 21 August.[75][76] He also coordinated a project to make Park as the Lee's special envoy to Netherlands, Portugal and Greece in April 2011.[77][78][79] Despite several criticisms during this period, his projects were widely regarded as successful.[76][10][80][81]

On 27 December, shortly after Park Geun-hye was elected President, Chung was nominated Secretary-General of the National Assembly.[92][93][94] 193 out of 224 MPs voted in favour of his appointment on 1 January 2013.[95] He oversaw several parliamentary reforms, including the establishment of suicide prevention facilities at the National Assembly Secretariat,[96][97] as well as changing its temporary workers into full-time.[98]

In the 2016 election, Chung contested for Gongju-Buyeo-Cheongyang and defeated the Democratic candidate .[106] Nevertheless, his Saenuri Party suffered an upset crushing defeat, which resulted in a hung parliament.[107][108] Kim Moo-sung subsequently resigned as party president, which let the position to be vacant until a new person is elected.[109][110]

On 1 May, Chung launched his bid to run for the parliamentary leadership.[111][112] 2 days later, he defeated Na Kyung-won and by receiving 69 out of 119 votes.[80][81] This made him as the first non-MP parliamentary leader in South Korean history ever, as his term was not started yet.[81] He also became the interim President of the party,[113] which he hold until being replaced by on 2 June.[114][115]

The President Park Geun-hye was under public pressure to resign following a report of JTBC about Choi Soon-sil on 24 October.[123] While 3 opposition parties (Democratic, People's, and Justice) agreed to bring the impeachment vote,[124] Chung previously mentioned that the Saenuri would not vote against.[125] On 9 December, 234 out of 300 MPs (1 did not attend) voted in favour of the impeachment of Park, and therefore Park's duty was immediately suspended.[126][127] The next day, JoongAng Ilbo analysed that about 62 Saenuri MPs voted for, and 20 out of 62 are pro-Park MPs.[128] 2 days later, Chung made an official announcement to step down as the parliamentary leader, saying, "As the parliamentary leader of the ruling party, I think it is reasonable to be responsible for the impeachment vote."[129][130]
