I will open an era of grand national unity.

I have no child to inherit my properties. You, the people, are my only family, and to make you happy is the reason I do politics.

I believe that it is an unchanging value of democracy that ends cannot justify the means in politics.

I couldn't stand back and watch the strong economy that my father envisioned go to ruins.

I understand that the end does not justify the means. And this should be a lasting value for democracy.

I know more than anyone the divergent views about my father. I want to be judged on my own merits.

South Korea's economy is still difficult. I will create a country where nobody worries about putting food on the table.
