[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] Sim Sang-jung, the Justice Party's presidential candidate, stated on the 9th, "In accordance with the will of our late Representative Roh Hoe-chan, we will boldly and sincerely open a new era of pluralistic democracy with all our strength."


On the morning of the same day, after paying respects at the grave of the late lawmaker Roh at Moran Park in Maseok, Gyeonggi Province, Sim posted this message on social media.


He wrote, "Despite various difficulties, our party members have done their best in their respective positions with pride as the party number 3. Without being swayed by approval ratings or worrying about vested interests, we have devoted ourselves to telling citizens only about the path South Korea should take and the political responsibilities that I and the Justice Party must bear."


He continued, "The 50-year grill has now become a 70-year grill. I never imagined changing the grill would be this difficult. Even the heavens must be sighing." He pointed out, "The unprecedentedly unfavorable presidential election phenomenon itself is a sign of the end of the two-party monopoly politics."



He then emphasized, "I believe the third party will establish a solid foundation to emerge as an alternative. On that foundation, the Justice Party will start anew."
