Member of the National Assembly, Na, Kyung-Won, started the lecture by introducing Korea’s political system. She revealed that her goal as a politician is to contribute to solving discrimination toward minorities and the disadvantaged. Also, she stressed that the current 20th National Assembly carries a responsibility to prepare for the upcoming 4th industrial revolution by institutional and legal developments. The Assembly will, also, have to play a role in preparing the future for the next generation. She stressed that politicians should not think only about re-election, but also be genuine politicians. Lastly, she claimed the importance of expanding women’s political participation.
