[Asia Economy, Reporter Lim Chunhan] On October 4, Jang Jeewon, a member of the People Power Party, stated, "It seems that the public does not feel that the politicians they elected are working for them. People say they are fed up with the Moon Jae-in administration, which divides everything, even right and wrong, into 'us versus them.' They also say there is nothing to expect from an opposition party that is utterly powerless."

On his Facebook page that day, Jang said, "During the holiday period, I made an effort to listen to public sentiment," and added, "What I heard most often were things like 'It's tough,' 'It's hard,' 'It's frustrating,' 'What are you doing?' and also 'Na Hoon-a.'"

Jang went on to say, "It seems that people feel very lonely because they have nowhere to turn. They are frustrated because there is nowhere to express their grievances," adding, "Politics is failing to provide comfort, and we are failing to give people strength."

Jang concluded, "Now I am returning to Yeouido," and added, "I once again pledge to put the country before the party, and the people before myself."
