Onward for Future 4.0 (Korean: 미래를 향한 전진 4.0) was a South Korean political party.
The Onward for Future 4.0 was founded by its president, Lee Un-ju, a former MP of the Bareunmirae Party who was dissatisfied with the leadership of Sohn Hak-kyu.
The party had a pre-inauguration ceremony on 1 December 2019,[1] [2] and announced its flag and logo on 23 December.[3] They announced 44 members including leadership figures, such as Park Hwee-rak (Chief Deputy President), Song Geun-john (Deputy President), Park Ju-won (Secretary-General), Lee Jong-hyuk (General Chairman of the Organising Committee), and Kim Won-sung (Chairman of the Strategic Planning Committee).[3] They also recruited 86 members — 14 for entrepreneurship, economy, labour and renovation, 7 for security and industrial security, 51 for youth startup, and 14 for youth student councils.[3]
On 19 January 2020, the party was officially established.[4] However, after a month, it was merged into the United Future Party.[5]
The party described themselves as centre-right, seeks youth politics[6] [3] and supported freedom and democracy.[1] The name, "Onward", was inspired from the La République En Marche! of France.[3] [1]
The party was also strongly anti-communist.[1] [2] Park Hwee-rak, the Chief Deputy President called the ruling Democratic Party of Korea as "left-wing party who communise the Republic".[1] It wanted to end populist welfare policy while seeking public and labour reform.[1]
The party added "4.0" into its name, which means:[7] [2]
