The Korean Christianity Public Policy Council (KCPPC, executive director: Rev. So Gang-seok) presented the political parties with its policies for civil-government collaboration in solving the low-birth-rate problem, forming a special committee on modern Christian culture, preventing suicide and addiction, and developing air quality countermeasures. The four major political parties replied that they will work proactively to promote or review these policies.
On issues such as homosexuality, same-sex marriage, anti-social heretical religious groups and abortion, however, the parties showed slight differences in position. (See table.)
The Justice Party refused to respond to this survey. Starting from the 2016 general election, KCPPC has surveyed individual candidates and political parties with regard to Christian issues, during the 18th Presidential election, the 2015 local elections, the 2016 general elections, and the 19th Presidential election last year.
