[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Kim Jeong-hwa, co-chair of the Minsaeng Party's joint election committee, said on the 1st, "Minsaeng where my mother's old age is comfortable, Minsaeng where my wife leaves work early, Minsaeng where my younger sibling easily gets a job, and Minsaeng where my friend's pub is bustling is the Minsaeng that the Minsaeng Party dreams of," adding, "Minsaeng is neither a grand philosophy nor a detached vision. It is a happy life for me and my family," appealing for support.

At the launch ceremony of the Central Election Committee held at the National Assembly that day, Kim said, "During the three years of the Moon Jae-in administration, how much has the livelihood of fellow citizens improved?" He added, "Citizens who work diligently every day have lost hope, while politics has been nothing but constant fighting. The politics of the wealthy who cannot empathize with the livelihood of ordinary people was the old-fashioned politics of the entrenched two major parties."

He criticized, "48.1 cm is the length of the ballot paper for this general election. It is the result of the two major parties, obsessed with the number of seats, rushing to create proportional satellite parties, and the proliferation of trick parties that only nominated proportional representatives without fielding district candidates." He said, "Politics by old-fashioned politicians, for old-fashioned politicians, and of old-fashioned politicians has caused tragedy."

He continued, "The Minsaeng Party firmly rejects fake politics tainted by ideology, regionalism, and factionalism," adding, "We will realize true politics for the happy lives and livelihoods of fellow citizens."

Kim stated, "I will prioritize visiting the sites of livelihood, youth, and women," and "I will directly listen to the voices from the field that wish for reform and renewal, and think together."

Kim said, "Approval ratings are just numbers. The fake cannot beat the real. And it should not win," urging, "Please support the true politics of the Minsaeng Party."
