"Korea says, 'Now is the time to repay'"

Amid discussions about Han Dong-hoon, Minister of Justice's role in the general election, Assemblyman Jo Jeong-hoon revealed that Han said, "At this age and position, it is now time to give back."

On the 19th, Assemblyman Jo appeared on Channel A radio show 'Political Signal' and said, "Among the many conversations I had with Minister Han, what I remember is that he said, 'At our age and position, it is now time to give back,'" adding, "It resonated with me."

Assemblyman Jo said, "He has no intention of losing to a member of the National Assembly and rather says everything he wants to say. I wondered if that was right, but after working together in the National Assembly for a year and a half, I thought Minister Han has a very unique but meaningful style and political strength," and evaluated him as having "political intuition."

He continued, "Minister Han seems to be deeply considering whether it is better to become one of the 300 members of the National Assembly for the country and society, or to remain as Minister of Justice and complete the investigation of Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, thereby contributing more to our society," implying that Han is contemplating entering politics.

Regarding the recent phone call between Minister Han and the victim of the Busan dollyeochagi (roundhouse kick) incident, arranged by himself, Assemblyman Jo said, "The victim reported to my office that they felt wronged," and "They requested a conversation with Minister Han, but were kept waiting for three months. I showed that scene at the National Assembly audit and told Minister Han to say something, and he immediately apologized."

He added, "The next day or the day after, Minister Han called me saying he wanted to apologize to this person," and said, "It seems they had a good conversation, and the victim also called me to express thanks."
