[Asia Economy Reporter Wondara] Ahn Cheol-soo, leader of the People’s Party, launched the party’s Youth Committee and said, “In an unfair environment where people without skills can easily get good jobs thanks to their parents’ influence,” adding, “Young people need to raise their voices.”

At the “National Youth Committee Launch Ceremony” held at the National Assembly Members’ Office Building on the 15th, Ahn said, “You, who have the best qualifications in the history of the Republic of Korea, are suffering greatly in an absurd environment with no jobs, and the unfairness causes even more emotional pain.”

He continued, “Even if you lack skills, if you have power and connections or get into university easily thanks to your parents, live comfortably during military service, and easily get good jobs, these things really anger young people,” adding, “The government is currently borrowing money to carry out various activities, but ultimately, the younger generation has to repay that debt,” and “That, too, causes harm to the youth.”

He then said, “Those present here must raise their voices and make demands about these issues so that the government and politics will pay attention and try to solve them,” and “I believe that starting with those here, the day when all young people empathize with youth issues in Korea will mark the beginning of solutions.”

The People’s Party Youth Committee was named “Youth Vaccine” to signify its commitment to solving youth problems. At the launch ceremony, YouTuber Jin Yong-jin, who has 2 million subscribers, attended and said, “I also strive to have a positive influence on Korean society through YouTube,” adding, “I hope the People’s Party Youth Committee will become a communication channel for youth politics going forward.”
