The Promotion Committee introduced that they will adopt the motto "To be a new choice in Korean politics with no options." Saeroun Seontaek embodies the meaning of establishing itself as an alternative party that breaks the structural problems of Korean politics, such as the two-party vested interest system and divisive behavior. Furthermore, it explained, "It means a party that sincerely strives to solve the problems before us beyond the old ideology and factional logic of conservatism and progressivism," adding, "It also has a double meaning that voters themselves need to make decisions and actively choose for political change."

Saeroun Seontaek will hold its founding initiator meeting on the 19th of next month at the main auditorium of Hi Seoul Youth Hostel.

Gwak Dae-jung, spokesperson for Saeroun Seontaek, said, "Nothing has been decided yet regarding the party's organizational structure," and added, "We plan to carefully consider the party organization over the course of a month."

Previously, Saeroun Seontaek appointed Jeong Ho-hee, former spokesperson of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, as the executive committee chairperson to continue preparations for the party's establishment.
