He also explained, "To closely examine livelihood issues, two deputy floor leaders were assigned to the livelihood sector, and to focus on party and national unity, three deputy floor leaders were assigned to the communication sector," adding, "In particular, since the youngest lawmaker in the party and a youth proportional representative, lawmaker Jeon, was appointed as Secretary-General, it reflects the will to relinquish vested interests and bring about change by injecting young innovation."
