People's Committee (postwar Korea)

Flag of the People's Committee of Korea

The People's Committees (Korean인민위원회; Hanja人民委員會) were a type of largely local committee-government which appeared throughout Korea immediately following the conclusion of the Second World War. These committees existed in their original form from August 1945 to early 1946. By 1948, these participatory grassroots organs of self-government became centralized in the north and purged in the south.[1]
