[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] As Kim Jong-in, the emergency committee chairman of the People Power Party, is attempting to issue a public apology regarding former presidents, opinions among party lawmakers are divided, while the People Power Party Secretariat Labor Union has expressed its support.

On the 8th, the Secretariat Labor Union stated in a press release, "The People Power Party Secretariat Labor Union expresses deep gratitude and support for Chairman Kim's plan to issue a public apology for our party's past mistakes."

The union said, "The ones to apologize to are the people," adding, "As servants of the people, it is only natural to apologize and reflect on even minor mistakes before the people, and this is not a matter of faction or personal belief."

They continued, "Our Secretariat Labor Union deeply feels the guilt of failing to monitor power, the guilt of losing the administration, and the guilt of disappointing the people," and said, "We firmly believe that those who apologize and reflect have a future, rather than denying mistakes with hypocrisy and covering them up with lies, so we choose the courage to apologize over the shame of wrongdoing."

The Secretariat Labor Union added, "Another word for apology is forgiveness," and said, "We have spent a long time blaming each other for faults. Only with the courage to apologize can one forgive others."
