Korean Provisional Congress set the principle of representative democracy by using a regional election precinct. Basically, Members of the Korean Provisional Congress were elected based on the Member’s hometown. This election precinct institution was consecutively observed from April 25, 1919, when the Law of Korean Provisional Congress was announced until the restoration of national independence. Congress members from Gangwon Province worked from the second and third Provisional Congress. Han Ki-ak and Lee Phil-kyu who were congress members from Wonju worked before the establishment of the Law of Korean Provisional Congress. Lee Phil-kyu was active in congressional politics from the Fourth Provisional Congress until 1922. On the other hand, Song Seo-ho, Park Yong-gak who were congress members from Cheorwon was active in congressional politics representing Gangwon Province. Congress Members from Gangwon Province sequentially suspended congressional politics activities because of the influence on secret activities in Korea and breakaway from the provisional government of Park Yong Man’s political line. Because of the Korean National Representatives Conference in 1923 created a vacancy of Gangwon Province election precinct. Yeom Eun-dong’ s congressional politics activities was noticeable although Congress Members from Gangwon Province’s ups and downs. However, Members from Gangwon Province was vacancy after joining the Korean National Revolutionary Party of Yeom Eun-dong.
