Lee Jae-myung "We Are Stronger Together"... Shares Nike Advertisement

[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] Lee Jae-myung, the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea, shared a Nike advertisement video titled "Believe in Our Strength" on social media (SNS) on the 31st, stating, "South Korea must now end the era of division and become one united us."

Regarding the Nike advertisement, Lee said, "While the power of the message conveyed by the advertisement is strong, above all, the amazing editing that connects numerous videos showing the process of becoming one us beyond race, gender, and disability leaves a deep impression."

He added, "I reflect on how difficult it is to overcome numerous conflicts that divide and separate us, from generational conflicts to gender conflicts and regional conflicts, and how much intense effort it requires to create one united us."

Lee recalled, "If I had given up because it was difficult, the boy worker Lee Jae-myung could not have come this far as the presidential candidate of the ruling party. There was never a smooth process nor an easy fight. I have passed each moment with all my might, stubbornly."

He also stated, "Reform always involves resistance, and the more efficient the reform, the stronger the resistance from vested interests. We had to fight endlessly to uphold the value of 'overcoming the strong and helping the weak,' the principle of Eokgangbuyak."

He continued, "Nevertheless, the reason I cannot back down is that this is no longer a journey I take alone. There are citizens who hold hands with me, supporters who cry and laugh together, comrades who silently unite to create a world of Eokgangbuyak even when facing unfair criticism due to my shortcomings and harsh rain. Because of this, I can believe that we will become stronger."

He then raised his voice, saying, "Dear comrades, respected citizens, South Korea must now end the era of division and become one united us. We are not alone. We become stronger when we are together."
