I have no child to inherit my properties. You, the people, are my only family, and to make you happy is the reason I do politics.

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.

I have no family to take care of.

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