Kim Min-seok, the leader of the Democratic Party, announced the launch of a special organization called 'Mega Ten' on August 25, aimed at reforming the party. He also initiated appointments focused on party lawmakers. Notably, he introduced the Nomination Reform Committee and the Constitutional Amendment Committee, emphasizing a commitment to winning the upcoming general election and pursuing constitutional changes.
During a briefing at the National Assembly, Kim stated that the Nomination Reform Committee, led by lawmaker Shin Jeong-hoon, will develop nomination guidelines applicable to the next general and presidential elections by the end of this year. He remarked, "We will engage in sufficient discussions and deliberations, and there will be discussions among all party members during the finalization process."
Kim also announced that lawmaker Kim Tae-nyeon will lead the Constitutional Amendment Committee. He noted, "Kim has a strong conviction and strategy regarding constitutional issues and possesses extensive connections across party lines. He will advance the constitutional amendment with a sufficiently independent plan."
Additionally, Kim revealed the activation of a special committee for the success of the mega projects, which will assign lawmakers to various regions to promote local-led growth. He stated, "I will serve as the chair of the committee, with Lee Kwang-jae and former Gyeongnam Governor Kim Kyung-soo as the senior and deputy vice chairs, respectively. I will also appoint Lee Un-joo, who was previously a vice chair, to continue the existing leadership structure under floor leader Han Byeong-do."
Furthermore, Kim announced several other initiatives, including the Party Reform Promotion Committee (led by former Governor Kim), the Friday Politics Local Livelihood Committee (led by lawmaker Park Ji-won), the AI-Driven Financial Market Economic Improvement Committee (led by former lawmaker Lee Yong-woo), the Culture! Hallyu Politics National Youth Culture Festival Committee (led by actor Lee Won-jong), the US-China-Japan Party Diplomacy Committee (led by lawmaker Park Jeong), and the 1030 Youth Policy Committee (led by lawmakers Kim Han-kyu and Jeon Eun-soo), among others.
