SBS's social contribution knowledge forum, SDF, will be held the day after the 18th with the theme of 'Fifty million voices, finding a conductor'.

This year, four major presidential candidates will attend and present answers to the challenges of the times that SDF has studied in-depth as a pledge.

Prior to this, the SDF team asked people what the top priorities of our society would be.

As a result, the uncertain future of the youth ranked first, followed by ideological conflict and inequality.

In addition, to the question of which part was the most angered, the answer was a real estate explosion, environmental destruction, and political behavior.
