Lee Jae-myung: ”Discuss structural reforms after completing legislation on numerical reforms by February”

Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung of South Korea has once again brought up the hot topic of national pension reform. Cho Seung-nae, the party's chief spokesman, said on the 26th that Lee Jae-myung had made the following remarks at the National Assembly's Health and Welfare Committee:
Regarding the ongoing pension reform debate within the committee, Jin Seo, a member of the policy committee, said, "We should consider a plan to quickly move forward with the goal of completing the legislation for the pension reform by the end of February and starting discussions on structural reform soon."
Cho Seung-rae, the spokesman for the National Assembly, added that Lee Jae-myung had instructed him to "consider the proposal for the index reform, including the introduction of a credit system, subject to the consent of the 21st National Assembly."
"The reform of the base number means calculating the ratio of "how much you pay" into the national pension and then "how much you receive." As the national pension fund runs out of funds,
The ruling and opposition parties have agreed on "paying less" and "receiving less." In the 21st National Assembly, Chairman Lee Jae-myung accepted the ruling party's proposal of a "13% insurance premium rate" and a "44% income replacement rate."
However, President Yoon Seok-yeol tried to join in the discussion on “structural reform” but he refused, and no agreement was reached.
At the pension reform hearing held by the Health and Welfare Committee on the 23rd, the ruling party emphasized "fiscal stability" and argued that aggregate reform and structural reform must be carried out in parallel, while the opposition party said,
The government is making efforts to reform the base numbers by emphasizing "strengthening income security."
