Democratic Party of Korea leader Kim Min-seok called for a comprehensive "zero-point shift" (a reset in national perspective) to respond to the AI revolution, low birth rates, aging populations, U.S.-China competition and inter-Korean relations. In his first representative speech at the negotiation group meeting since taking office on September 7, Kim said changing national targets requires changing the starting point of policymaking and urged a "strong nation consciousness" over what he described as a "small nation consciousness" rooted in Japan's colonial rule. He proposed broader bipartisan cooperation, including joint attendance by ruling and opposition youth committee chairs at government meetings, discussions on changing the number of negotiation group seats and stronger ties with progressive reform parties. Kim also suggested lawmakers sit together by alphabetical order rather than party in the plenary hall, while maintaining party confrontations in standing committees. On housing, he proposed a bipartisan consultative body involving the opposition and Seoul City, and called for discussions on complex development near transport hubs, quasi-industrial zones and facilities such as Seoul's proposed water regeneration centers. He also advocated easing height restrictions near the National Assembly and Supreme Court, calling them remnants of the authoritarian era. On the Future Response Fund, Kim endorsed transparent and accountable fiscal principles, opposed using the fund as discretionary government money and proposed revising its spending goals through bipartisan talks and public consent.
