Chin Young (Hangul: 진영; hanja: 陳永; born 23 October 1950) is a South Korean politician in the liberal Minjoo Party of Korea, and a member of the National Assembly representing Yongsan, Seoul. He was formerly a member of the conservative Saenuri Party, and served as the first Minister of Health and Welfare in the Park Geun-hye administration from March to September 2013. Having previously been Park's chief secretary, he was considered a key ally of hers at the time, and advocated an expansion of government welfare spending. He resigned six months after his appointment due to the administration's refusal to fulfil an election pledge to provide an additional monthly allowance for elderly citizens. Later, in May 2014, Chin voiced his disapproval that he had not been allowed "to leave quietly".
