Regarding next year's budget, Floor Leader Yoon explained, "It has been evenly allocated to achieve four goals: overcoming the crisis, economic recovery, reducing disparities, and preparing for the future," adding, "Among them, support for small business owners was emphasized." He continued, "We will boldly and swiftly promote any measures that can be advanced for small business owners and self-employed individuals, such as utilizing excess tax revenue to support them."

Regarding Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party's presidential candidate, expressing a positive opinion on Yoon Seok-youl, the People Power Party's presidential candidate's 50 trillion won support for small business owners, he explained, "Please interpret this as meaning that if the opposition party proposes a 50 trillion won support plan that aligns with compensation for small business losses, it can be accepted."
