On the morning of the 10th, 30 science and technology organizations, including the Korea Federation of Science and Technology Societies, issued a statement saying, "We sincerely congratulate candidate Yoon Seok-yeol on his election as the 20th president and the inauguration of the new government."

These organizations stated, "We deeply agree with the 'Five Major Innovation Strategies in Science and Technology' proposed as election pledges by President-elect Yoon, and we have high hopes for his commitment to 'becoming a government that values science and technology the most and respects scientific judgment.' We expect these policies to be reflected as core national agendas of the new government so that the Republic of Korea can vigorously leap forward as a 'Science and Technology G5 nation.'"

They continued, "As the president-elect also mentioned, the solution to all these challenges lies in science and technology. This is why a clear philosophy and bold future vision regarding science and technology are necessary at the center of national governance," adding, "Above all, by expanding dedicated organizations for science-based policy decisions, we must transition from a 'science and technology follower nation to a leading nation in original technology' and secure the golden time for crisis transformation."
