Under the slogan “Political innovation through digital, regime change through data!”, he proposed pledges including ▲establishing an in-party data center ▲building a digital communication platform ▲developing a digital nomination system.

Lee Young appealed for support, saying, “When forming a team, it should consist of people whose duties do not overlap,” and added, “Among the supreme councilors, at least one digital expert or cyber expert is necessary.”
