[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyemin] Kim Jong-in, Emergency Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, stated on the 31st, "I will do my best to normalize the country."

In his New Year's address for the Year of the Ox 2021, Kim said, "Last year, the Moon Jae-in administration's failures, including the COVID-19 pandemic, real estate crisis, and destruction of the rule of law, reached their peak, leaving the country in extreme chaos and crisis."

He emphasized, "The lives of the people have become more impoverished, and the aftermath continues into the beginning of the new year, which weighs heavily on my heart. The root of wrong politics must be changed for the country to stand upright and for the people to live. I believe that the driving force behind the creative destruction and disruptive innovation of Korean politics lies solely in the power of the people."

Kim pledged, "In 2021, the People Power Party will strive to be a strength to the people and a new hope. We will change and innovate with the attitude of Jeguposhin (除舊布新 - discarding the old and spreading the new)."

He added, "With a heart united with the people, I will do my best to overcome the crisis and normalize the country. We will continuously strive to stand tall as a party that walks with the weak and a people’s empathetic ruling party that embraces the pain of the people."
