Seo Jung-jin, Chairman of the Celltrion Group, stated on the 20th, "The privilege of youth is being able to turn hardships into joyful memories," adding, "Set your dreams, run towards them, and if you fall, get back up. Do not give up and pursue your goals like crazy until the end. Then you too can succeed."

On the same day, Chairman Seo spoke at a youth debate hosted by the Seoul branch of the People Power Party held at Chung-Ang University Seoul Campus in Dongjak-gu, saying, "I also come from a dirt spoon background," and "I even ate at a homeless shelter in the U.S." The moderator of the debate was former People Power Party lawmaker Na Kyung-won.

Addressing the youth, Chairman Seo advised, "These young people should not be politically exploited. They should not be sweet-talked just for votes," and urged, "Instead, support them and create spaces and playgrounds where they can run and play freely." He added, "I hope we stop fighting quickly and move forward with a united heart."

Chairman Seo also said, "I agreed to participate in the debate while exchanging New Year's greetings with former lawmaker Na, but I forgot that it was election season," and stated, "I am neither conservative nor progressive, but a centrist. A pragmatist." He continued, "In fact, it is taboo for businesspeople to appear publicly with politicians and take photos together," and said, "I was even protested for doing this during election season, but since we are from the same hometown and I respect this politician, I came."

Former lawmaker Na said, "The spirit of consensus is the most important in the National Assembly, but now the spirit of consensus has disappeared, and politics has become extreme as decisions are made by voting and those with even one more seat do as they please," adding, "If I return to the National Assembly, I want to work on that."

Former lawmaker Na stated, "What politicians must do is to create a better Republic of Korea for the next generation. It is the same meaning when businesspeople are active," and said, "Politicians must prepare spaces where young people can run and play freely and open paths for those who have failed to get back up again."
