According to the Democratic Party, in March, to focus party efforts on resolving issues related to COVID-19, existing organizations were integrated to form the "COVID-19 National Crisis Overcoming Committee."

Former Prime Minister Lee Nak-yeon serves as the chairman and has been working on measures to overcome COVID-19 to date.

Kim Seong-ju, who was appointed spokesperson of the "COVID-19 National Crisis Overcoming Committee," previously served as a member of the 19th National Assembly and as the 16th chairman of the National Pension Service, and succeeded in being re-elected in the 21st general election.

During his term as a member of the 19th National Assembly, he was active in the Health and Welfare Committee for four years and was recognized for his expertise in health and welfare by serving as a secretary, an unusual role for a first-term lawmaker.

Meanwhile, during the 21st general election campaign, as the spread of COVID-19 accelerated, Kim Seong-ju suspended face-to-face election campaigns and organized a livelihood field team within the Jeonju-byeong election campaign committee.

Kim Seong-ju expressed his determination, saying, "I feel a great responsibility as the spokesperson of the COVID-19 National Crisis Overcoming Committee," and "I will prioritize the lives and safety of the people and do my best to overcome COVID-19."
