He continued, "I will do my best so that the Liberty Korea Party can win this general election and so that a nationwide atmosphere of victory can spread," adding, "There will be many hardships, but I will not be discouraged, will not lose to any attacks, and will take the first step to save the Republic of Korea."

After that, I will proceed with the necessary steps," and added, "I will organize (my Jamwon-dong residence)."
