Arirang TV, New Government Special Documentary… Lee Jae-myung’s Inauguration as President
Arirang TV will broadcast a special documentary titled ‘Rebooting Hope, Korea s Return’ on June 28th at 7 PM to commemorate the launch of the new government.The program will highlight the background of President Lee Jae-myung’s election as well as the major challenges facing the new government.
Subtitled ‘Lee Jae-myung, a New Beginning,’ this documentary will analyze key national agendas such as the economy, diplomacy/security, and social integration from various angles, focusing on the presidential inauguration process, and will introduce the government’s national philosophy and future vision through interviews with domestic and international experts.
The documentary examines the reality of the economic crisis as the backdrop to President Lee Jae-myung’s victory.In the first quarter of 2025, the Korean economy recorded a negative growth of -0.2% compared to the previous quarter, and the youth unemployment rate reached its highest level since the pandemic.In this situation, the Lee Jae-myung government is focusing on restoring people’s livelihoods based on the pragmatic keynote of ‘finding answers on the ground.’
In addition to the field-oriented policies introduced during his tenure as mayor of Seongnam and governor of Gyeonggi Province, such as disaster relief income, public delivery app, and platform fee reduction, a blueprint for future industries, such as the creation of a 100 trillion won national investment fund for AI, semiconductor, and bio industries and the appointment of a senior AI strategy officer, will also be introduced.
Seoul National University Professor Park Sang-in evaluated the situation by saying, “The government’s will to restructure the economic structure is clear,” and “It is showing the possibility of real change.”
Turning to Technology Diplomacy… “Security as a Survival Strategy”
The Lee Jae-myung government is focusing on ‘technological sovereignty’ and ‘industrial survival’ as its key principles in the areas of diplomacy and security.Stabilizing the supply chain of strategic industries such as AI, semiconductors, and batteries is emerging as a security issue beyond a simple economic issue.
President Lee Jae-myung attended the first G7 summit since taking office and presented a technology-centered multilateral diplomacy direction, strengthening solidarity with the international community.Moon Chung-in, professor emeritus at Yonsei University, analyzed, “President Lee Jae-myung pursues diplomacy centered on national interests based on practicality rather than ideology,” and “He values peace on the Korean Peninsula and the safety of the people as his top priorities.”
In fact, the president delivered a message of practical diplomacy at the Korea-Japan summit, saying, “Korea and Japan are inseparable neighbors,” and is strengthening energy and technology diplomacy through relay summits with nine countries, including Brazil, Australia, and the UK.Through this, he is sending an international message of “Korea is Back, “ and is redrawing a diplomatic landscape that seeks connection rather than division.
National integration strategy also in operation… “From division to connection”
In the area of social integration, participatory integration strategies are being promoted through the implementation of a ‘basic society’, customized support for the life cycle, and institutionalization of the national recall system.The Lee Jae-myung government is evaluated as laying the foundation for sustainable national operation through policies that go beyond simple ideological balance and focus on the lives of the people.
Professor Jinbong Choi of Sungkonghoe University said, “The government’s operation method that combines pragmatism and institutionalization is providing a clue to national unity.”
Arirang TV’s ‘Rebooting Hope, Korea s Return’ focuses on the leadership of the Lee Jae-myung government that is creating opportunities in the midst of a crisis, and captures the government’s new starting point that goes beyond politics and ideology and centers on the ‘field’ and the ‘people.’Reporter Lee com -bi, Donga.com misty82@donga
