Comment by Kim Yong-beom
Chief of Staff for Policy at South Korea's Presidential Office; former vice finance minister
The fruits of the AI infrastructure era are not the result of any single company alone. They are built on an industrial foundation accumulated collectively by the Korean people over the past half-century. [...] part of those gains should be structurally returned to the entire public. That is the legitimacy and principle behind the design.

Verified. The Korea Herald source (article 10736418) returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but a web search returned verbatim excerpts from that same article confirming the quote: Kim Yong-beom (presidential chief of staff for policy) said "the fruits of the AI infrastructure era are not the result of any single company alone," that they are "built on an industrial foundation accumulated collectively by the Korean people over the past half-century," and that "part of those gains should be structurally returned to the entire public." Author attribution is correct (Kim Yong-beom, South Korea Presidential Office). Year 2026 is current. Vote "for" aligns with the statement: Kim supports redistributing AI-era gains to the public via a dividend, which is the core principle of the statement (note: Kim's actual proposal is a national/Korean dividend from excess tax revenue rather than global equity, so the scope/mechanism is narrower than the statement, but the directional support is correct). Corroborated by Yahoo Finance, Tom's Hardware, UPI, and Korea Times coverage.
