[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Kim Jeong-hwa, co-representative of the Minsaeng Party, stated on the 16th regarding the results of the 21st general election, “I think this is a harsh judgment not on the first and second parties, but on the third party,” adding, “It is a miserable result. There is no excuse.”

At a press conference held at the National Assembly Communication Office that day, Co-representative Kim said, “I deeply feel responsible for not being able to properly innovate the party before the general election.”

He said, “The Minsaeng Party’s general election was an overall ‘cramming.’ Cramming is bound to fail,” and added, “We will deeply engrave the stern criticism of the people in our hearts, reflect on it, and rise again.”

He continued, “We have the duty to represent the will of the 750,000 fellow citizens who chose the Minsaeng Party,” and said, “We must break the fake politics of the two major parties and create genuine politics of pragmatic centrist reform.”

Co-representative Kim emphasized, “If we cannot find our own center, the party will surely be stranded soon,” and said, “We must overcome this crisis with the spirit of centrist reform that does not parasitize the vested interests of the two major parties, while upholding principles to the end.”

Co-representative Kim stated, “As the party’s representative, I will prepare to hold the Minsaeng Party’s national convention within May. We will hold a disbandment ceremony for the election committee, formally establish a national convention preparation committee, and form a TF team for practical preparations,” adding, “We will make a new generation and new actors the owners of the party. The Minsaeng Party must no longer be a battleground for vested interests of old thinking and petty ideology.”

Co-representative Kim said, “This is just the beginning. The Minsaeng Party will be the hope of ordinary fellow citizens, as well as the youth and women of this land,” and added, “When we think of the daily hardships of people’s livelihoods, our tears are a luxury. Instead of remembering our pain, we must remember and engrave the pain of the people’s livelihoods. There must be at least one party that thinks only of people’s livelihoods.”
