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

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

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

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

My father was criticized as a dictator, but that should not overshadow his accomplishments in restructuring the country. He brought Korea out of 5,000 years of poverty. What he left unaccomplished was democratization of the system.

We should change the current economic system dominated by big business groups to a one where small and medium-sized enterprises develop together.
