[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyemin] Kim Jong-in, Emergency Committee Chairman of the Future United Party, launched a special committee for revising the party platform and policies on the 15th. Kim Byung-min, an emergency committee member, was appointed as the special committee chairman responsible for changing the party's philosophy to reflect future values. Representatives Yoon Joo-kyung, Park Soo-young, Kim Woong, and Lee Jong-sung also joined.

The Future United Party's emergency committee held a meeting at the National Assembly that morning and approved these matters.

The special committee for revising the party platform consists of 16 members, including Chairman Kim. The committee is divided into two subcommittees: "Walking with the Future" and "Walking with the People." Each subcommittee is tasked with addressing youth issues and creating a party platform that resonates with socially vulnerable groups such as the disabled.

Among the parliamentary members, Representative Yoon Joo-kyung and Representative Park Soo-young participate in the "Walking with the Future" subcommittee. Representatives Kim Woong and Lee Jong-sung are part of the "Walking with the People" subcommittee.

Additionally, the "Walking with the Future" subcommittee includes external figures such as ▲Kim Cheon-sik, Invited Professor of North Korean Studies at Ewha Womans University ▲Shin Beom-cheol, Director of the Diplomatic Security Center at the Korea Institute for National Strategy ▲Lee Chang-geun, Future United Party Organizational Chairman of Hanam City ▲Lee Jae-young, Future United Party Organizational Chairman of Seoul Gangdong District ▲Lee Ji-hyun, Director of the Gongyu Politics Research Institute ▲Kim Bo-ram, former spokesperson of the Korean Party.

The "Walking with the People" subcommittee includes ▲Lee Dong-hwan, Korean Party Organizational Chairman of Goyang City ▲Park Sung-yeon, Seoul Metropolitan Council member of Gwangjin District ▲Kim So-yang, Seoul Metropolitan Council member ▲Cheon Ha-ram, Organizational Chairman of Suncheon-Gwangyang-Gokseong-Gurye Gap in Jeonnam ▲Jung Hyun-ho, representative of Today for Tomorrow.

The special committee plans to revise the party platform with the spirit of "Walking with the Vulnerable." While maintaining the identity of a conservative party regarding security and constitutional values, it is reported that they are considering incorporating workers' rights and the spirit of democratization, which conservative parties have neglected. Future values reflecting contemporary issues such as the Fourth Industrial Revolution and low birth rates are also expected to be included.

Emergency Committee spokesperson Bae Jun-young said in a briefing that day, "There were voices of self-reflection that our party has failed to reflect the demands of the people of the era, and the special committee was formed based on the judgment that the party's identity and changes in the times must be newly incorporated."
