Cho Seungrae, spokesperson for the National Policy Planning Committee, stated during a briefing at the Changseong-dong annex of the Government Complex Seoul that "yesterday, the number of visits was nearly double that of the first day," adding, "Public interest is growing increasingly strong."
Regarding the ongoing contest to name the platform, Cho said, "So far, 2,188 entries have been received," and added, "Once the contest closes today, we will select and announce the official name." The platform is currently operating under the provisional title "Wishes for President Lee Jaemyung."
Starting next week, the National Policy Planning Committee will use an artificial intelligence (AI) system to classify the policy proposals and civil complaints submitted to the platform, then forward them to the relevant subcommittees for consideration in the formulation of national policy tasks. Some of the submitted proposals and complaints will also be selected as topics for discussion or public deliberation.
Previously, the online public communication platform was launched at 2 p.m. on June 18 to receive public policy proposals and civil complaints.
