Quote verified via web search (sedaily.com returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch, but search results reproduce the exact wording from the cited Seoul Economic Daily article — the primary source). Ko/Koh Dong-jin (PPP lawmaker, former Samsung president) said: "This is a populist idea driven by an obsession with immediate votes and an act that shakes the foundation of the free market economy," criticizing Kim Yong-beom's national dividend proposal to redistribute AI/semiconductor windfall profits to citizens. The bracketed lead-in is an accurate paraphrase of the proposal. Year 2026 correct. His "against" vote on "The economic gains from frontier AI should be shared with every person on Earth" aligns with his opposition to the dividend. Author attribution confirmed.
