[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Ahn Cheol-soo, leader of the People’s Party, announced on the 31st, "Starting tomorrow afternoon, I will embark on a 400 km cross-country journey to get closer to the people."

At a Kwanhun Club invitation debate held at the Press Center in Jung-gu, Seoul, on the morning of the same day, Ahn said, "I will run and walk across various parts of this land to approach the people, engaging in conversations not only with those present on-site but also with those gathered online, to read the hearts of the people and listen to their voices."

Ahn stated, "The nationwide journey is an expression of my determination to fight against the entrenched political forces’ deceptive disguised parties," criticizing the proportional representation parties of the Democratic Party of Korea and the United Future Party. "The arrogance and pride of the entrenched political forces are sky-high. I will resolutely confront wrong, unjust, and immoral politics."

Ahn added, "While running, there may be severe weather or injuries, but as long as my physical strength permits, I will endure the hardships and fatigue to meet as many people as possible," and expressed, "I want to give hope and faith to the common people struggling due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) that we can overcome again."

Ahn said, "The conversations with countless citizens I will meet during the nationwide journey will be the foundation for realizing politics of hope and unity," and sincerely hoped, "On the day the journey ends, a great opportunity for change and innovation in our politics and society will be created."
