[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] Ahn Cheol-soo, leader of the People’s Party, wrote a handwritten letter to his supporters on the 4th, saying, "I sincerely apologize to the precious people who wished for my full run."

On the same day, Ahn posted two pages of handwritten text in the form of a letter on his Facebook, stating, "I am well aware that the result of this candidate unification has caused great disappointment and regret to many people, so I want to share my honest feelings."

He said, "I thought that if unification did not happen, we must prevent the situation where the regime change that you and I have advocated together would not be achieved." He continued, "I started politics to warmly embrace the socially vulnerable and to change the world. Although I began politics wanting to change the world, I was troubled and distressed that the scale of the people's suffering has not decreased," explaining, "The dilemma of deciding on unification stemmed from that."

Ahn emphasized, "Just because I could not complete the full run does not mean I am giving up on my path," adding, "I will not forget the support and love you have given me, and I will devote everything and do my utmost to create a better Republic of Korea." He also said, "You are the ones who have worried about the country and supported me to create a better world," and added, "I will continue to walk the path hand in hand with you without losing my original intention."
