[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hye-min] On the 15th, Kim Ki-hyun, a member of the People Power Party, supported Kim Jong-in, the Emergency Response Committee Chairman, regarding his public apology to former Presidents Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye, calling it "a courageous sincerity for the future of the country, not humiliation."

On the same day, Kim stated on his Facebook, "I believe this is a small but meaningful step taken to be recognized as a competent ruling party."

He said, "We will take this as an important turning point to rebuild (rebuilding) a trustworthy party that will restore freedom, democracy, and justice in this country against the runaway Moon Jae-in administration," adding, "We will remove the rejection toward our party still ingrained in the grassroots public sentiment and take this as an opportunity to be reborn with a new image based on genuine reflection, renewing our determination."

Kim also said, "Although our party's approval rating has recently risen, more innovation and reform efforts are still needed," and added, "We will strive to clearly show how we differ from the Moon administration, which is riddled with hypocrisy and lies."

He emphasized, "Unlike the stubborn, arrogant, dogmatic, and power-hungry old-guard Democratic Party, our party is becoming younger, renewing itself daily, and strengthening its substance," and stated, "In that sense, our apology is a courageous sincerity for the future of the country."
