On September 2, at the Plaza Hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul, the 18th Good Growth, Good Jobs Global Forum (2026 GGGF) brought together political figures, including National Assembly Speaker Cho Jeong-sik and People Power Party floor leader Jeong Jeom-sik, who shared a warm atmosphere.
During the forum, which focused on the topic of artificial intelligence (AI), Cho and Jeong exchanged views and shared jokes, creating a lighthearted environment. Notably, before delivering his congratulatory remarks, Cho expressed gratitude to Jeong for attending, saying, "The regular session of the National Assembly began yesterday, and I appreciate you taking the time to join us." In response, Jeong thanked Cho for his "always gentle charisma in leading the legislative body of South Korea."
The two leaders found common ground on South Korea's competitiveness amid the global shift towards AI. They expressed confidence that as the focus of the AI industry shifts towards 'Physical AI,' South Korea, as a manufacturing powerhouse, has the potential to emerge as a leading nation. They also pledged to do their utmost to provide policy and institutional support from their respective positions as heads of the legislature and the opposition party.
In addition to Cho and Jeong, lawmakers Kim Jang-gyeom and Yoon Yong-geun from the People Power Party engaged in ongoing discussions on various topics. When Yoon remarked, "I need to study a lot about AI," Cho smiled and urged him to ensure the opposition party actively participates in the AI industry. The forum's host even introduced them with a three-line poem using their names, which sparked further conversation among the attendees.
