  "account": "SEOUL, Sep. 4 (Yonhap) -- President Lee Jae Myung vowed to establish a fair and transparent society during a meeting with civic activists on Friday, urging them to contribute to social reforms. The gathering at Cheong Wa Dae featured civic groups advocating for human rights, the environment, agriculture, peace, and history. President Lee expressed hope that through shared ideas, the nation could cultivate hope and establish a fair and transparent system. Although his administration's vision closely aligned with that of civic groups, who aimed to create an equitable community, differences in achieving this goal might exist, Lee explained. He emphasized that civil society's role in South Korea's democratization history was significant and that its contribution would be crucial in the forthcoming social reforms. The meeting aimed to bridge the gap between government policies and the practical concerns of civic group activists, according to the presidential office.",
