History

The Onward for Future 4.0 was founded by its president, Lee Un-ju, a former MP of the Bareunmirae Party who was dissatisfied with the leadership of Sohn Hak-kyu.

The party had a pre-inauguration ceremony on 1 December 2019,[1][2] and announced its flag and logo on 23 December.[3] They announced 44 members including leadership figures, such as Park Hwee-rak (Chief Deputy President), Song Geun-john (Deputy President), Park Ju-won (Secretary-General), Lee Jong-hyuk (General Chairman of the Organising Committee), and Kim Won-sung (Chairman of the Strategic Planning Committee).[3] They also recruited 86 members — 14 for entrepreneurship, economy, labour and renovation, 7 for security and industrial security, 51 for youth startup, and 14 for youth student councils.[3]

On 19 January 2020, the party was officially established.[4] However, after a month, it was merged into the United Future Party.[5]

Ideology and policies

The party described themselves as centre-right, seeks youth politics[6][3] and supported freedom and democracy.[1] The name, "Onward", was inspired from the La République En Marche! of France.[3][1]

The party was also strongly anti-communist.[1][2] Park Hwee-rak, the Chief Deputy President called the ruling Democratic Party of Korea as "left-wing party who communise the Republic".[1] It wanted to end populist welfare policy while seeking public and labour reform.[1]

4.0

The party added "4.0" into its name, which means:[7][2]

  • "1.0" - Establishment
  • "2.0" - Industrialisation
  • "3.0" - Democratisation
    • Although the country achieved a democratisation, there were several fakers and hypocrites who endangered the social value and brought a chaotic age.
  • "4.0" - Future
    • In future, we should end this chaotic age and rebuild a free and fair society.
