[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] The Democratic Party's Youth Election Committee announced that it will create committees called "Stop the Democratic Party's Old-Fashioned Behavior" and "Dislike Misandry and Misogyny" to improve the Democratic Party's unfavorable image. This is seen as a strategy to court the votes of the 2030 generation.

On the morning of the 24th, the Youth Election Committee held a press conference for the "Dynamite Youth Election Committee" at the Democratic Party headquarters in Yeouido, Seoul, stating, "The Democratic Party has not escaped from the 'old-fashioned' attitude of trying to lecture, believing it is mostly right, and unilaterally solving problems," and added, "This election should not be one that divides 이대남 (men in their 20s) and 이대녀 (women in their 20s), but an election for the youth who are unseen and unheard," explaining the purpose of forming the committees.

The Youth Election Committee is chaired by former Democratic Party youth spokesperson Kwon Ji-woong and former Jeonju City Council member Seo Nani. At the press conference, Chair Kwon said, "50% of people in their 20s and 40% of people in their 30s say they do not yet have a preferred candidate. Young people do not have a political force or campaign that represents their stories, so they cannot choose anyone," and added, "We intend to bring their stories. If we do this a lot, I think the 2030 generation, who have not chosen a candidate, will view the Democratic Party more favorably."

Presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung encouraged the youth election committee by saying, "For the party to move nimbly, young people must act independently," and "I hope many citizen opinions will be reflected," according to Chair Kwon.
