[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Former Liberty Korea Party leader Hong Joon-pyo stated on the 22nd, "On this beautiful spring day, I wonder what I can do as an even more powerless independent lawmaker, not just a powerless opposition member, in front of the giant ruling party with 180 seats."

On the same day, Hong said on Facebook, "I am returning to the National Assembly after 8 years," adding, "As I face what might be my last time in Yeouido's National Assembly, I believe it will take a lot of time to get used to the new customs of Yeouido."

Hong said, "I want to escape the 'Wagakjijeung (蝸角之爭)'?a petty dispute. That is why I decided to meet the people directly," and added, "I will travel around the country and experience the public sentiment with my whole body."

Earlier, Hong said, "I will take the opportunity to ask the people directly whether I have the qualifications to run the country. Once the National Assembly convenes, I will start a political busking for the public," adding, "Heaven has given me a last chance. The citizens of Daegu and the residents of Suseong have given me a last chance."

Hong stated, "Although I have fallen and stumbled countless times, I have never faced difficulties caused by conspiracies within internal factions like this time. However, the people have ousted the conspirators and chosen me," and added, "I will think more carefully and solve problems more meticulously and thoroughly so as not to miss this last chance."
