The Power of the People Kim Se-yeon, former member of the Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-myeong, pointed out that “what is difficult to call basic income is unreasonably called basic income”.
Rep. Kim said on his Facebook page on the 15th, “Governor Lee Jae-myeong’s perception of the technological revolution and its ripple effect is more advanced than others. However, with a payment of about 41600 won per month, Calling this’basic income’ is not appropriate because the difference between the name and the essence is so great.”
In the short term, the Governor insisted on implementing a basic income policy of 500,000 won per person per year (about 41600 won per month). After that, in the medium term, it will expand to 1 million won per person per year (about 83,300 won per month) and 500,000 won per person per month in the long term. Regarding this, Congressman Kim pointed out that short- and medium-term plans are too small to expect the effect of’basic income’.
Rep. Kim compared the short- and medium-term payments to’cosmetics samples’ and argued, “I put a small amount of contents that could not be called basic income, and put the words’basic income’ in a large packaging box to sell it.”
He added, “Why is it difficult to call basic income as a basic income while raising a new and bold agenda?” He added, “Maybe it is because of the forceful presentation in line with the next presidential election schedule. If it is a strategy to only bring results under the title of’first implementation of basic income’, this part deserves criticism.”
Congressman Kim argued that “basic income should be the center of the new system.” He said, “We must boldly remove unnecessary elements from the existing system and selectively preserve only the essential elements.” He said, “There is no need for interference or infringement, we can enjoy true happiness, It is presented as an answer. He stressed that if this is solved in terms of conservative party vocabulary, it is possible to protect the liberal democracy and the market economy system only with basic income.

“One of the typical reactions that arise when the basic income debate occurs is the fiscal soundness debate, which usually ends with a populist debate,” he said. “But if you understand technological change, you can never say this. He added that the perception of environmental changes in the last 20-30 years has not been updated.”
