[Asia Economy Reporter Baek Kyunghwan] Lee Jae-myung, the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea, announced that he will improve the parking convenience system for the disabled based on individuals rather than car ownership.

On the 6th, through social media (SNS), candidate Lee stated as his 87th small but certain happiness (So-hwak-haeng) pledge, "Even among pedestrians with disabilities, those without cars cannot receive parking permits and therefore cannot use disabled parking spaces." He explained that parking permits will be issued to pedestrians with disabilities who do not own cars, allowing them to use disabled parking spaces even when using someone else's vehicle.

In particular, he revealed a specific plan, saying, "Even when using taxis, shared vehicles, or rental cars instead of their own or guardian's vehicles, they will be able to park in disabled parking spaces with the existing parking permit." Candidate Lee emphasized, "Ensuring convenient mobility rights for the disabled is the foundation of a welfare state."

Along with this, he also presented a pledge to improve unfair contract practices for cultural content workers. Candidate Lee said, "If cultural and artistic workers can receive fair treatment, wouldn't the cultural content industry more firmly establish itself as our future source of income?" He added, "We will seek institutional measures to protect the professional status and rights of workers in the cultural and content industries."
