He continued, "They say that when you get old, you should keep your mouth shut and open your wallet, and I intend to follow that advice," adding, "Although I don't agree with everything they do, I wonder if that judgment might also be a limitation or prejudice of a generation that has already passed." Finally, he said, "So, I will leave politics to the young people to handle and just support them from behind."

Candidate Ryu Ho-jeong entered the National Assembly as the number one proportional representative of the Justice Party in the 21st general election in 2020 but lost her seat after leaving the party in January. She then joined a new party and later transferred her party affiliation to the Reform New Party led by Representative Lee Jun-seok due to the merger process of third-way political forces.
