[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 15th, Won Hee-ryong, Governor of Jeju Province, expressed his strong agreement with Kim Jong-in, Emergency Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, regarding his public apology related to former Presidents Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye, stating, "Any power that fails to carry out the mandate of the people or commits acts beyond that mandate must be held accountable."

On the same day, Governor Won said on Facebook, "It is only right to apologize to the people," adding, "Bowing to the people is never something to be ashamed of."

Governor Won stated, "The filibuster by our party's lawmakers to block the evil law has ended. We could not overcome the numerical superiority of the Democratic Party of Korea. However, this time we confirmed the will of the people," emphasizing, "This apology will be an opportunity for our party to stand proudly before the people again."

He also said, "I will do my best to ensure that our party's apology is not shameful. Furthermore, we will apply the same standards to the Moon Jae-in administration," adding, "No one, no party, is exempt from the responsibilities of the president and the ruling party. The people will judge equally."
