Min Hyung-bae Preliminary Candidate Welcomes Democratic Party's 'Wi-Fi Expansion Pledge'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Min Hyung-bae, a preliminary candidate of the Democratic Party for the National Assembly election in Gwangsan-gu (Eul), Gwangju Metropolitan City, voiced support for the Democratic Party's 21st general election No. 1 pledge, the ‘Nationwide Expansion of Free Wi-Fi’ pledge.

On the 15th, Candidate Min said in a press release, “The way for the Democratic Party to win this general election is to have pledges that citizens can relate to most closely in their daily lives,” adding, “The establishment of public Wi-Fi will reduce communication costs and citizens will be able to feel the benefits directly.”

Earlier, the Democratic Party announced at the general election pledge announcement ceremony that it plans to establish about 53,000 Wi-Fi spots nationwide as its No. 1 pledge.

Candidate Min stated, “The digital divide in information and communication is leading to social polarization,” and “The establishment of free Wi-Fi nationwide will eliminate the information gap and improve the quality of life for citizens.”

He also emphasized, “Since the proportion of mobile data usage among the younger generation is high, this will gain sympathy from economically vulnerable groups such as youth.”

He continued, “During my time as the mayor of Gwangsan-gu, I listened to the wishes of Honam University students and reflected them in policies,” adding, “Even as a member of the National Assembly, I will continue to communicate with citizens and establish policies that citizens can feel.”
