[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hye-min] Yoo Seung-min, a member of the Future United Party, stated regarding the crushing defeat in the April 15 general election, "I will accept the people's choice with a heavy heart."

On the morning of the 16th, the day after the general election, Yoo said through his Facebook, "We painfully realized that we were greatly lacking."

Yoo acknowledged the defeat, saying, "We failed to uphold the responsibility and dignity of conservatism." He pledged, "We will reflect more, empathize more, and innovate more."

He announced his future course, saying, "We will seek a new spirit and new values," and "We will rebuild conservatism on a blank slate."
