[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Kim Jong-chul, leader of the Justice Party, stated on the 5th, "The Anti-Discrimination Act is absolutely necessary for the dignity of all of us, and many citizens agree with this law," adding, "I hope the Democratic Party of Korea and the People Power Party will join in enacting the law."

At a press conference held in front of the National Assembly to urge the enactment of the Anti-Discrimination Act, Kim said, "The Anti-Discrimination Act is a law that elevates the human rights of our citizens," and urged, "We call on the two major parties in the National Assembly to take responsible action in enacting the Anti-Discrimination Act."

Kim emphasized, "Currently, people opposing the Anti-Discrimination Act are protesting beside us, and recently, there have been consecutive arson incidents at temples. These are hostile acts that violently suppress and oppose others' religion, preferences, and tastes," adding, "On the other hand, the Jogye Order is working with us to enact the Anti-Discrimination Act, moving away from violence and exclusion. Such efforts are necessary to create a world of love, consideration, and mutual respect."
