[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Seohyun] Yoo Seung-min, a former lawmaker and presidential candidate of the People Power Party, said on the 8th, "In next year's presidential election, we should elect a president who will take responsibility for the future rather than judge the current administration."

Yoo made this remark during a talk concert titled "Busan, the Wind of the Millennium" held at the People Power Party Busan City Party Office in the afternoon, where he was discussing various topics including labor and gender issues, as well as the upcoming presidential election.

He emphasized, "Think about whether the world you wanted has come in the past 4 years and 3 months since electing President Moon Jae-in," adding, "The criterion for choosing a president should be who will create the Republic of Korea you earnestly desire. If you elect a president just to judge the current administration, there will be no future or development for Korea."

Starting with, "The reality where it is difficult to find a job after graduating from university, and where getting married and having children is just a dream, is causing pain among young Koreans," Yoo stressed the importance of politics by saying, "Support for university tuition, military service period, housing prices, and all other areas are decided by the people you elect."

He continued, "The president chosen on March 9 next year will lead Korea for the next five years with the authority granted by you," and mentioned, "What kind of country Korea will become after the end of COVID-19 depends on the next president."

He also revealed his motivation for entering politics, saying, "I entered politics after witnessing how politics decided all important matters during the 1997 IMF crisis," and appealed for support by stating, "I have been interested in reform and policies and have been seeking solutions until now."

Meanwhile, Yoo plans to visit Gyeongnam on the 9th and return to Busan on the 10th, starting with this special lecture on the 8th.
