Democratic Party presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung is accelerating policy action by announcing a campaign committee-wide pledge to create more than 2 million jobs through ‘digital transformation’.

Yes, Parliament.

[앵커]

Candidate Jae-myung Lee is accelerating his policy move as he first announced his pledge at the company.

What promises did you make?

[기자]

This morning, the central office in Yeouido, Seoul announced the promise of ‘a great digital transformation’.

Candidate Jae-myung Lee recently released a series of small but fruitful ‘commitment to small-activities’ such as a one-year deferment of virtual asset taxation, measures against motorcycle noise, and expansion of consignment hospitals for veterans through SNS.

This is the first time that the election committee has publicly announced its promises.

Candidate Lee said that he would usher in an era of expanding digital territory on the basis of former President Kim Dae-jung’s ‘high-speed internet network’, former President Roh Moo-hyun’s ‘e-government’ and President Moon Jae-in’s ‘data dam’.

He announced that he would build physical and institutional infrastructure with an investment of 135 trillion won for five years after taking office and support the digital transformation of traditional industries.

He added that it will draw more than 250 trillion won in private investment in the process of starting and growing private companies.

He emphasized that this could have the effect of creating jobs.

Let’s listen to the announcement of Candidate Jae-myung Lee.

[이재명 / 더불어민주당 대선 후보 : 이러한 과감한 투자는 일자리 200만 개 이상을 창출하고, 향후 수십 년간 연 30조 원 이상의 추가적 부가가치를 창출할 것입니다.]

Candidate Lee will appear in a special conversation to be held at the YTN studio shortly thereafter.

Various pending issues such as the special prosecutor’s office on the Daejang-dong allegation and the plan to reorganize the electoral committee, which has been handed over all powers, the presidential election strategy that is approaching in the next 100 days, and the views of candidate Yoon Seok-yeol, the People’s Power, will be disclosed in detail and honestly.

[앵커]

Candidate Seok-Yeol Yoon’s appointment as a senior leader does not appear to be smooth.

Did Kim Jong-in, former chairman of the platoon, fail to join?

[기자]

For now, it seems likely.

Former Chairman Kim Jong-in met with reporters this morning and said he did not want to talk about political issues anymore and that he would return to his daily life.

This is read to mean that he practically rejected the proposal of Candidate Seok-Yeol Yoon’s general election chairman.

Let’s hear about former Chairman Kim.

[김종인 / 전 국민의힘 비상대책위원장 : 더 이상 그렇게 복잡하게 얘기할 것 없이, 내가 일상으로 돌아가야겠다고 하면, 일상으로 돌아갔다고 받아들이면 되는 거지 더 이상 뭐 달리 해석하려고 하지 마세요.]

At a meeting with reporters, Candidate Yoon Seok-yeol also expressed his displeasure when asked about Kim’s joining of the predecessor, saying, “Don’t ask me what the nobleman is saying.”

However, he has repeatedly confirmed his position that he will wait as long as Chairman Kim said he will have time to think.

Let’s hear it.

[윤석열 / 국민의힘 대선 후보 : (선대위에 김종인 전 위원장 합류가 사실상 물 건너간 것 아니냐는 관측이 많은데, 어떻게 보십니까?) 우리 김(종인) 박사님께서 며칠 생각을 하시겠다고 하니까 저도 기다리고 있습니다.]

Rep. Jang Je-won, who had been talking about his son’s drunk driving and assault controversy, said through SNS that he would leave the candidate’s side.

On Yoon Seok-yeol’s stage, I aimed at former Chairman Kim Jong-in, who was in conflict with Yoon Seok-yeol, saying that he was only a supporting actor and should not try to get attention or make a deal.

In the midst of this, Candidate Yoon had a luncheon meeting with seven preliminary candidates who had competed in the primary, including former Auditor General Choi Jae-hyung, former Incheon Mayor Ahn Sang-soo, and lawmaker Ha Tae-kyung.

However, Assemblyman Hong Jun-pyo and former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min are still not responding to the request to meet.

To a reporter’s question about this, Candidate Yoon briefly replied that he was trying to see the two of them.

So far, this is YTN Jo Seong-ho in the National Assembly.
