[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 10th, Joo Ho-young, floor leader of the People Power Party, expressed high expectations to Kang Eun-mi, the newly appointed floor leader of the Justice Party, saying, "The era has come where new generations are leading the Justice Party, and the expectations are great."

On the same day, Joo told Kang, who visited the People Power Party floor leader's office at the National Assembly, "I expect your role in enabling progressive politics in our country to gain the support of the people."

Kang said, "It seems that the People Power Party has recently gained a lot of strength. My home is in Gwangju, and I was impressed by how they apologized for the May 18 incident, and how they are thinking together about how to take care of the livelihoods of people struggling due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), actively focusing on livelihoods beyond political strife and ideology."

Kang added, "I look forward to showing the public that the National Assembly is not just engaging in political strife but competing over the welfare of the people. I believe it is the National Assembly's duty, beyond progressive or conservative lines, to figure out how to bring many people in precarious non-regular jobs, who are falling deeper into hardship, into the social safety net."
