The six-term lawmaker of the ruling Grand National Party was first elected as chief of the organization in 2008 and again in 2009.

About 1,000 federation members participated in the event, according to Hyundai Heavy Industries, which Chung serves as the largest shareholder. The list includes Democratic Party Rep. Chung Dong-young and GNP Reps. Chung Doo-un and Chung Chin-sup.
