Onward for Future 4.0 ( Korean: 미래를 향한 전진 4.0) was a South Korean political party.

History

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]

Ideology and policies

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]

4.0

• "1.0" - Establishment
  • On 15 August 1948, the former President of the Republic Syngman Rhee, and the other heroes and heroines, established this country, and defended freedom and democracy against communism.
• "2.0" - Industrialisation
  • From 1960s to 1980s, the country was industrialised by sending troops to South Vietnam, miners and nurses to West Germany, and construction workers to the Middle East.
• "3.0" - Democratisation
  • Although the country achieved a democratisation, there were several fakers and hypocrites who endangered the social value and brought a chaotic age.
• "4.0" - Future
  • In future, we should end this chaotic age and rebuild a free and fair society.
