He emphasized, "This is the golden time for the Lee Jaemyung administration to achieve a major leap and transformation through AI. I believe that how quickly we can handle the key governmental and legislative agendas over the next 100 days will serve as a mechanism for the public to feel real results."

He added, "Within the Assembly, we will monitor the legislative progress of each standing committee on a weekly basis, and we will complete all major governmental agendas for this year within the next 100 days."

He continued, "If the opposition party attempts to impede state affairs in committees not chaired by our party, I ask that we actively utilize the fast-track system to push forward with legislation."

The Democratic Party plans to organize the bills to be handled by each standing committee on a weekly and monthly basis and increase consultations among the party, government, and presidential office. After the general meeting, Lee Juhee, the party's floor spokesperson, told reporters, "The floor will monitor legislative agendas by committee as if operating a situation room," and added, "We will accelerate the processing of bills, with committee chairs and secretaries from the Democratic Party at the center of these efforts."
