[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Young-eun] On the 18th, Ryu Ho-jeong, a Justice Party lawmaker, said, "I think I am currently on the experimental stage of youth politics."

On the same day, Ryu appeared on CBS Radio's 'Kim Jong-dae's News Up' and said, "If I do well, I think there will be more opportunities for young politicians in the next 22nd National Assembly."

She added, "If I do well, I hope the public will think, 'I used to think young people didn't know much, but having a few young lawmakers in a National Assembly dominated by people in their 50s has its advantages.'

Ryu also said, "I feel guilty that I did not resist more against unfairness when I was in the gaming industry in the past," and added, "Having been a worker myself, I somewhat understand the feelings of the 'Eul' (the underprivileged)."

When asked what kind of voices she wants to represent in the future, she said, "I think I should be by the side of people without power," and answered, "So, during this National Assembly audit, I represented workers (wearing workers' clothes) and dealt with issues such as technology theft by small and medium-sized enterprises and workers' safety."

She continued, "I wondered, 'Is the voice of workers entering the National Assembly?' and felt the need to legislate through politics," and said, "The best moment was when I achieved results representing workers during this audit."
