[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] Song Young-gil, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, said on the 25th regarding measures to recover the support of the 2030 generation, "The way to escape being an old-fashioned party is to push forward specific current issues rather than empty claims."

He stated, "What is urgent for our youth generation is a future alternative," adding, "It is about creating hope for young people who have become sudden paupers investing in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and stocks, and buying lottery tickets, so that they can own their own homes."

In a post titled 'I needed someone to empathize and talk about the future together' on Facebook that day, Song explained the background of appointing Lee Dong-hak, former vice chairman of the National Youth Committee, as the youth representative Supreme Council member, saying, "The Democratic Party was judged by the 20s and 30s generation in the April 7 by-elections."

He continued, "I want to dream of an era where our youth generation, regardless of money, can own their own homes as long as they have the will and ability to work, by thinking together about the 'Everyone's Home Project.'"

He also said, "Seeing People Power Party leader candidate Lee Jun-seok congratulating Lee Dong-hak on his appointment as Supreme Council member and Lee Dong-hak supporting Lee Jun-seok's election makes me dream of a new form of politics," adding, "It is rewarding just to think about it."
