This preliminary meeting was the first official negotiation procedure since the Delivery Platform Labor Union requested negotiations in April and was confirmed as the representative labor union for negotiations in May. It served as an opportunity for both labor and management to share their positions ahead of the main negotiations.

Starting with this preliminary meeting, Elegant Youth will begin the first round of main negotiations in early September. The company plans to formalize negotiations once every two weeks thereafter to sincerely discuss a variety of issues, including rider safety, working conditions, and system improvements. In particular, to build a sustainable delivery environment for platform-based riders, the company intends to work with the union to discuss data-driven improvements and the design of customized systems.

Park stated, "We will listen more closely to the voices of our riders, who are our partners in shared growth, and sincerely engage in negotiations to create a more stable and sustainable delivery environment." Hong also said, "Since the union's demands point the way for a healthier delivery industry as a whole, we will continue the conversation with sincerity from the field."
