“I believe the DPK [Democratic Party of Korea] can also make progress if we can clearly judge the forces led by Lee Jae-myung and sort out these people who do not know what democracy or economy is.”

“It is really bad politics that promotes hatred among the people by distorting the efforts to realize gender equality to make a frame of a battle between women and men. I see candidate Yoon Suk-yeol's remarks creating division between women and men seriously problematic.”

“The government has deliberately made this situation where housing prices soared. They said they changed real estate policies 28 times, but it is a public deception which they did on purpose. Their belief was that when the people own homes, they tend to be conservative and will not vote for the liberal bloc.”

“I believe the people of Sangju and North Gyeongsang Province have called me, Yoon Suk-yeol, to carry out political reform and scatter the corrupt, incompetent and inhuman ruling bloc led by the DPK [Democratic Party of Korea]. The DPK have claimed that they stand together with the ordinary people, workers, farmers and the poor. But during the five-year reign of the DPK, polarization in the country has increasingly deepened, with the gaps in assets and incomes widening further. I believe there are many good politicians within the DPK... But the DPK leadership was too obsessed with old ideas from a few politicians who try to push ahead with their absurd ideas from within and outside the party, while persecuting other great politicians with good minds.”

“I doubt if a leader [Yoon Suk-yeol], who does not have any knowledge about state affairs and only vows political retaliation while also creating a blacklist against artists of the liberal bloc to persecute them, will be able to overcome the complicated and serious crises the country has faced.”

“I would focus on bolstering a comprehensive and strategic alliance with the United States based on the shared values and principles of freedom, democracy, the market economy, constitutionalism and human rights. I will pursue open cooperation to expand common interests with related countries in the region by participating in working groups for vaccines, climate change and new technology under the Quad, a partnership between the U.S., Japan, Australia and India.”

“Lee [Lee Jae-myung] has consistently called for a universal basic income. He is currently taking a rather soft position on the matter, saying he would not unilaterally push for the basic income policy without social consensus. But it is likely that he would put a stronger drive into introducing a basic income once elected. In contrast, Yoon [Yoon Suk-yeol] would shift the focus of economic policies to encouraging entrepreneurial growth over wealth distribution, introducing more business-friendly policies by easing regulations and offering tax incentives. If Yoon is elected, he would emphasize the principle that denuclearization should come first before inter-Korean cooperation, whereas Lee would continue the engagement policies pursued by the Roh Moo-hyun and Moon Jae-in governments. For other neighboring countries, Lee would try to strike a balance between China and the U.S. amid their growing rivalry, but it would be hard to expect that bilateral relations between South Korea and Japan could improve under Lee's leadership, as he is focused on the historical issues between the countries. For Yoon, it is obvious that he would be committed to strengthening the South Korea-U.S. alliance and improving relations with Japan, considering the figures selected as members of his election camp.”

“Each candidate can pursue different policies, but the ultimate goal boils down to improving people's livelihoods. A democratic republic needs a servant who will work on behalf of the people, not a king. We need to hold an in-depth discussion to show the people who would be better as their representative.”

“Compared to Yoon [Yoon Seok-youl], who has failed to present his own political vision, Lee [Lee Jae-myung] has a relatively stable image as a veteran politician. However, controversy is rising over scandals surrounding him, and his support rate is waning because of these. Lee is now urged to appeal to the young group by presenting viable policy plans as to how to put his basic income policy as well as other plans he has promised, such as providing more housings, into action.”

“Many of those in their 60s and 70s support Yoon [Yoon Seok-youl] and many of those in their 40s and 50s support Lee [Lee Jae-myung], according to recent polls. Those in their 20s and 30s have turned their back on the current liberal ruling bloc, disappointed with its many corruption scandals. But Yoon has also failed to win their support, which was seen in the PPP [People Power Party] primary where Rep. Hong won more support from them. Yoon's leadership style as the former top prosecutor is outdated compared to other veteran candidates who have actively adapted to changing trends. Yoon has also failed to present his own political vision, which cannot be achieved in a short period of time. As he hurriedly rushed into the presidential election without any political experience, he will have to bring strong political figures or veteran politicians into his camp.”

“I have been doing my best so far, but will go further so the success of the Moon administration and its legacy will go down in history. I really wanted to apologize for being so harsh during the previous presidential election.”

“I think that Pyongyang is serious about improving ties with Seoul. And it makes sense to try to do this while President Moon is still in office. If another liberal wins the presidency, most likely they will follow the same policy as President Moon so any dialogue with him would be a starting point for relations with the new president. And if a conservative wins, they wouldn't want to go back to the period of tensions that we witnessed from 2010 to 2017. So a conservative president would be tempted to seek engagement with Pyongyang. Particularly with a Biden administration that clearly wants no tensions with North Korea, and which seems to be open to diplomacy.”

“I do not know what North Korea has in mind, but if it tries to influence the presidential election, it would be a foolish decision because it does not know too much about the situation or public opinion here toward the North. Although President Roh Moo-hyun held a summit with then-North Korean leader Kim Jong-il before the presidential election, the conservative party won the next election and the North should remember that.”

“There is no doubt that the government and the ruling party have the intention of creating a dichotomy over war or peace ahead of the presidential election. Just as the (first Moon-Kim) inter-Korean summit was ahead of the 2018 local elections, the government and the ruling party are approaching inter-Korean relations superficially by again drawing up a simple scheme.”

“The ruling DPK [Democratic Party of Korea] has one strong contender and one medium contender, and the PPP [People Power Party] is also shaping up in the same format due to the support for Hong [Hong Joon-pyo]. Yoon [Yoon Seok-youl] promotes the image of being him a man of principle and the rule of law, but runs the risk of allegations of him being involved with political meddling. On the other hand, Hong is good at debates and offers radical and catchy pledges such as abolishing unions and a revival of the bar exams, although his pledges are not really feasible.”

“I have kept an average of 95 percent of my campaign promises while serving the public. I only promised what I could fulfill and I kept all of my promises. Even if I might have to experience a political loss, I believe in the collective intelligence of the public and push forward on the right things in order to bring about results. That is my style.”

“The times have changed. In the past, we believed only those in extreme poverty were in a difficult situation, but today those in the middle class are also having difficulties, with many of them in irregular jobs. Such promises of handing out money, especially Governor Lee's [Lee Jae-myung] basic income policy pledge, are reflecting the changes.”

“I have been thinking about this for a long time. To change the country's leadership, I believe it is necessary to join the conservative main opposition party and start with a fair competition during the primary. I believe that the PPP [People Power Party] should play a pivotal role in the leadership change. I have been saying for a while that if I run for the presidency, I will have to be a PPP candidate. I also thought that my uncertainties over joining the PPP could harm the party.”

“For them [Millennials and Generation Z], the older generations are, whether they are conservative or liberal, people with vested rights and interests. Unlike the older generation who usually have a specific political inclination, younger people are a non-ideological generation. It is said they were liberal (in the 2017 presidential election) but became conservative in the by-elections (by choosing PPP [People Power Party] candidates). They do not care about ideology, and move according to their own interests, so they will vote for a candidate who can deal with their issues regardless of whether the candidate is conservative or liberal.”

“Leading the economy is the responsibility of the private sector and the market, but it is difficult for private companies and the market to handle massive industrial restructuring in an era of great transformation. Like the New Deal project during the Great Depression, the public sector should pave the way for the private sector to make new investments and produce innovation. Realizing a society where basic economic rights are guaranteed and everyone enjoys minimum economic prosperity, on the basis of securing fairness, alleviating inequality and polarization and expanding welfare, is the only way to achieve sustainable growth and a better life for the people.”
