At times, we were forced to go through a history of dependence, unable to determine our own destiny. But today, we are at the threshold of a new turning point.
The Age of Northeast Asia is fast approaching.
I reached a situation in which I cannot conduct the presidency.
We must regain the confidence and drive to decide our own destiny.
Let us make future generations remember us as proud ancestors just as, today, we remember our forefathers.
I do hope after my crossing that more people will follow suit.
