[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jun-yi] Former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol visited the Kim Young-sam Former President Memorial Library and said, "If it were not for former President Kim's dedication and sacrifice for democracy, we would not be living on the foundation of democracy today." This visit is interpreted as an effort to reiterate the 'democratic values' he has emphasized.

On the morning of the 2nd, former Prosecutor General Yoon toured the exhibition hall at the Kim Young-sam Former President Memorial Library located in Dongjak-gu, Seoul, and had a 30-minute conversation with Kim Hyun-chul, the second son of former President Kim and the Executive Director of the Kim Young-sam Democracy Center.

Former Prosecutor General Yoon said at the memorial, "Former President Kim was a person who devoted decades of his life fighting for democracy in our country with a firm belief in democracy."

He added, "Former President Kim never ceased his efforts to pursue politics of addition and grand politics, not politics of subtraction and division based on factional logic, aiming for national unity and politics of common sense. Now, it is our responsibility as future generations to protect the democracy that he so diligently tried to uphold from being trampled again by anti-democratic and anti-rule-of-law forces."

On the same day, former Prosecutor General Yoon wrote in the memorial guestbook, "Following the teachings of President Kim Young-sam, a great mountain of Korean democracy, I will walk forward looking only at the people."
