[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] On the 19th, Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, said, "In this difficult situation, I am reminded of the past struggles and patience of former President Kim Dae-jung (DJ) and Mrs. Lee Hee-ho, as well as their faith in the people." Emphasizing livelihood, Lee also mentioned the 'DJ spirit' on this day, seemingly expressing his determination to follow former President Kim's 'practical livelihood reform path.'

At the '100th Anniversary Celebration and Photo Exhibition of Mrs. Lee Hee-ho's Birth' held at the National Assembly Members' Office Building in the morning, Lee said, "Mrs. Lee is remembered as an outstanding figure in history who, as a representative women's activist of Korea, steadfastly walked the path of democracy, peace, and human rights together with her husband, former President Kim."

He emphasized, "I will strive to faithfully follow the path that former President Kim and Mrs. Lee walked so that we can surely advance into an era of peace and human rights, democracy, and livelihood."

On this day, the Democratic Party leadership, who attended the photo exhibition with Lee, highlighted Mrs. Lee Hee-ho's life as a women's activist and also raised issues such as 'gender equality and feminism.'

Park Hong-geun, floor leader, said, "Former President Kim once said, 'Thanks to my wife, I was able to find the other half of humanity,' and I believe that all their values regarding women, human rights, and feminism are encapsulated here," adding, "Feminist Kim Dae-jung was the work of Mrs. Lee Hee-ho." Jung Chun-sook, chairwoman of the party's Women's Committee, mentioned the Sindang Station stalking murder case and stated, "Gender equality is a timely task that we all must achieve together for the sustainability of our society."
