Reform Party leader Lee Jun-seok visits China's World Robot Conference alone

Reform Party leader Lee Jun-seok visited the World Robot Conference (WRC) in Beijing on August 19 to observe China's advancements in robotics, semiconductors, and artificial intelligence. The visit aimed to directly assess China's technological development in these key strategic industries.

Lee reportedly spent about six hours at the conference before returning to South Korea early on August 20. He attended the event as a solo visitor, without any aides, emphasizing his personal commitment to understanding the evolving technological landscape. During his visit, he also had a chance encounter with Madison Huang, daughter of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and a senior executive at Nvidia, exchanging greetings.

Lee has consistently shown interest in technology, having previously developed AI-based election programs and a short-form video generator during his election campaign to cut costs. A graduate of Seoul Science High School, he studied computer science and economics at Harvard University.

Meanwhile, Reform Party floor leader Chun Ha-ram also recently completed a three-day basic military training at the Nonsan Army Training Center. Chun, who is part of the National Defense Committee, is expected to use his experience to inform his parliamentary activities, including future inspections. He shared his reflections on Facebook, acknowledging the hardships of military training while expressing respect for the soldiers.

The hardships of military training were immense; I thought I was going to die. But now, I'm writing this post looking all composed, it was truly that tough.
