Lee praised, "Roh Moo-hyun was right," saying, "'A world where people live' and 'balanced development' were your lifelong dreams and challenges. You broke down the walls of privilege and unfairness, opened the doors of inclusion for the socially vulnerable, and laid the stepping stones of hope to become a competitive nation through regional balanced development."

He emphasized, "Roh Moo-hyun's dream has now become our task," and "We will fulfill your unfinished dreams."

Lee added, "We are now continuing 'a world where people live' into 'a country worthy of a nation.' We will develop that dream into a 'country that protects my life,' strengthening the basic rights of the people, alleviating inequality, and creating a more trustworthy community through solidarity and coexistence. We will build a country where even local areas can prosper."

That morning, Lee visited Bongha Village in Jinyeong-eup, Gimhae City, Gyeongsangnam-do, and attended the memorial service for former President Roh.
