Kim Moon-soo backs new welfare policies as part of his presidential campaign under the People Power Party. On April 20, Korea’s Disability Day, he unveiled plans targeting seniors and disabled citizens.
He pledged free bus rides for people aged 65 and older. The policy would apply during off-peak hours, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Kim emphasized that the policy aims to improve seniors’ mobility and reduce daily costs.
In addition, Kim Moon-soo backs housing reforms to support aging populations. He proposed that 25 percent of all new public housing must include senior-friendly features. These features would include on-site medical services, caregiving facilities, and access to daily meals.
According to Kim, future housing must reflect the needs of an aging society. He argued that the country must prepare for the increasing number of elderly citizens.
Kim also addressed transport accessibility for people with disabilities. He proposed launching a nationwide “Digital Integrated Transport Pass.” This pass would allow disabled individuals to access all public transit systems using a single ID.
Kim Moon-soo backs inclusive innovation to create a more accessible Korea. He believes that the government must prioritize digital equity and physical accessibility.
His proposals reflect growing concerns about Korea’s aging population and the limited infrastructure for disabled citizens. Kim said his campaign will continue to present practical solutions for social issues.
As the presidential race continues, Kim positions himself as a candidate focused on inclusivity. He urged voters to support policies that protect vulnerable communities.
The People Power Party is set to choose its nominee by May 3. Kim aims to gain public support with bold proposals before the official selection.
South Koreans will vote for their next president on June 3.
