* His BMP years, he made extreme claims that "the Women's Committee, the Youth Committee, and the Disabled Committee should all be dissolved."정은혜. (August 11, 2018) 이준석 "젊은이들 9급 놓고도 무한경쟁…정치인도 자격시험 보게 할것" (Lee Joon-seok said "Young people compete indefinitely for 9th grade civil servant. I'll also have politicians take the qualification exam.") JoongAng Ilbo. Retrieved June 15, 2021

* He argues that South Korea's highways should be privatized. This was meant in the sense that privatizing South Korean highways would stimulate competition enough to adjust prices and operate more efficiently. However, since highways in South Korea are mostly single goods with no substitutes, privatization of highways inevitably leads to monopoly of certain companies.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adNQ8-zemx4&t=2725s
* He argues that 'for-profit hospitals', which are legally prohibited in South Korea, should be allowed, and that when companies can easily dismiss people, management efficiency increases and society benefits. He supports basic income by saying that the social safety net should be strengthened instead, but he naturally opposes 'support' for problems caused by discrimination and abuse of social minorities in South Korean society.http://www.mediatoday.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=214015
* "Historically, attempts to institutionally reconcile the differences between women and men have not been successful, but advances in science have broken down barriers to entry for women," he thinks.http://www.readersnews.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=103354
* He expressed his de facto opposition to the enactment of the 차별금지법 (anti-discrimination law) and insisted that the Christian camp be embraced.https://www.chosun.com/politics/assembly/2021/06/17/OGKDBXEM3RHJZLGJCHGBXAXOXA/ The Christian camp in South Korea is notorious for its anti-LGBT tendency.https://www.hani.co.kr/arti/well/news/950656.html
==Moderate conservative?==
Although he is effectively an alt-lite politician in the US political context, he is considered 'moderate conservative' in South Korea. The main reasons for the distinction between 'moderate conservative' and 'far-right conservative' in South Korea are mainly the glorification of the military dictatorship, Confucian values, and dissatisfaction with the impeachment of former President Park Geun-hye. Lee Jun-seok opposes this. That's why there are many people in South Korea who don't understand that he is actually a far-right politician.
