[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Lee Yong-bin, the Democratic Party of Korea's preliminary candidate for Gwangsan Gap, Gwangju Metropolitan City, stated on the 5th, "2020 is the era of 'Newgwonja (New+Voter),' and a new sensibility is coming," adding, "We will actively reflect policies that incorporate the voices of 18-year-old Newgwonja in this general election."

Candidate Lee said, "With the recent revision of the Public Official Election Act, a new wave has come to Korean politics, which had been longing for change. It is the political emergence of the generation gaining voting rights for the first time at the age of 18," and added, "Various social efforts will be necessary for them to become the main actors of Korea's era change and to approach as a great wave of the new era."

He proposed ▲Respect for Newgwonja ▲Acceptance of Newgwonja Sensibility ▲Formation of a Newgwonja Public Forum.

Candidate Lee emphasized, "Newgwonja should be warmly welcomed as new agents of Korea who have the same shares and responsibilities as the older generation," and "Newgwonja are the owners of Korean society, and naturally, their political expressions must be respected."

He continued, "With the emergence of the Newgwonja generation, various issues that had not been highlighted in our society will spread with new grammar," and "It is essential to have a social attitude that carefully understands and listens to the voices of the new generation with so-called 'Newgwonja sensibility' and reflects them."

Furthermore, he explained, "A huge public forum that can properly reflect the voices of the Newgwonja generation must be quickly established starting from this general election," and "If Newgwonja themselves bring up the problems in their lives, contain concerns and voices that will trigger changes in life, and start dialogue on an equal footing with the existing political generation, it will be possible to lead significant influence and change in this general election."
