In human life, economics precedes politics or culture.

National partition is a sorrow that touches all Koreans, but for me it is brought to the fore by unimaginable personal suffering.

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

I will end the history of division and conflict through reconciliation and fairness.

I will never forget the will of the people who believed in me wherever I went during the election campaign.

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

I will be the president of the nation who keeps pledges.
