Upon his inauguration, Lee pledged to speak for the 7 million senior citizens in the nation and continue his efforts to improve their rights and welfare.
For the past seven years, Lee had served as the vice chairman of the association. During his term, he built over 200 centers for senior citizens, as well as a three-story educational institute in Muju, North Jeolla Province, early this year.
He also plans to move the association’s head office near to the Taepyungro building, where Booyoung Group’s headquarters is located.
