Han Dong-hoon, Emergency Response Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, stated on the 2nd that the attack on Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, is "something that must never happen in our society."

Chairman Han made these remarks while meeting with reporters at the People Power Party Daejeon City Party's New Year's gathering held at the Daejeon Convention Center in Daejeon Metropolitan City. He emphasized, "The investigative authorities must conduct a strict and swift investigation to uncover the full details and hold those responsible fully accountable."

Before the New Year's gathering began, Chairman Han also addressed party members, saying, "I just saw the news that Leader Lee was attacked by an assailant," and added, "As a member of the People Power Party and on behalf of all party members, I sincerely wish for Leader Lee's speedy recovery."

He continued, "We are not a democracy that can be shaken by a few strange individuals doing strange things," explaining, "We are a nation with a constitution that advocates liberal democracy, and it is our People Power Party that is the pillar protecting that liberal democracy."

Chairman Han said, "Daejeon has been a symbol of our party's comeback victories. The only reason our party has faced difficulties is because we despair ourselves into thinking we cannot win."

He added, "I do not think about my life after April 10th. The reason is that I know that election will greatly influence the future of the great Republic of Korea and its great fellow citizens," emphasizing, "I will join in leading Daejeon and our party down the path to victory."
