In his inauguration speech, which began with the "50th fanfare," newly appointed President Park Jong-min recalled the "fanfare of the French Revolution" and Jean-Jacques Rousseau's concept of the general will, stating that he will do his best to ensure that the 50th executive committee thoroughly upholds the "sovereignty of the members of the Korean Society for Journalism and Communication Studies" based on the general will of its members.
