[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] Seo Nan-i, who joined the 'Woo Sang-ho Emergency Committee' representing youth, women, and Honam, stated in her opening remarks at the Emergency Committee meeting on the 13th, "Our party must not forget its historical identity of representing ordinary people around us who are concerned about their daily lives, rather than the wealthy, powerful, or vested interests."

Commissioner Seo said, "The Democratic Party has unique assets that it has excelled in. We have recognized each other's differences and engaged in intense debates to determine the direction we should take under the name of the Democratic Party, presenting that as values and vision to lead the people." She added, "The Democratic Party is currently unable to utilize these assets. How can we achieve unity and create innovation when emotional criticism runs rampant and everyone insists that only their opinion is correct?" Commissioner Seo further emphasized, "We must restore democratic traditions and dynamism."

She stressed, "We need to conduct a precise evaluation of the causes of defeat in the presidential and local elections and prepare so that the party convention scheduled for August can become a genuine stage for fierce competition centered on policy lines and true innovation."

Commissioner Seo said, "I feel a heavy responsibility in taking on the role of an emergency committee member during these difficult times for the party. The Emergency Committee will listen carefully to the voices of the people and party members to propose directions on what the Democratic Party must prepare to regain the trust and love of the public."

Commissioner Seo previously served as a Jeonju City Council member for the 10th and 11th terms and was elected as a Jeonbuk Provincial Assembly member in the recent local elections. During the last presidential election, she served as co-chair of the Youth Election Countermeasures Committee alongside Commissioner Kwon Ji-woong. Woo Sang-ho, the Emergency Committee Chair, appointed Seo as the emergency committee member representing youth, women, and Honam on the 12th.
