Big businesses aren't the only ones in the economic ecosystem. Nobody should fall behind because of an unfair structure.

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

My father's biggest achievement was to motivate the South Korean people, to show them we could become prosperous if we worked hard. He taught me to love my country, and serve my country.

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

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

We need fundamental change. In the past, national development led to people's happiness but now the link between national growth and improvement in people's lives has been severed.

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