Jung Hee-yong, the chief spokesperson of the People Power Party, said in a statement, "It is the duty of us adults and the responsibility of the nation to create an environment where children, the future leaders, can grow up happily and safely."

Chief Spokesperson Jung emphasized, "The People Power Party and the Yoon Suk-yeol administration will spare no effort to support a country where children can safely and freely play with their friends, and where their dreams can come true. We will carefully prepare measures to address the various risks that still exist in playground facilities and school routes."

Choi Min-seok, spokesperson for the Democratic Party of Korea, stated, "The Democratic Party will devote all its efforts to creating a country where children can play safely and a Republic of Korea where children are happy."

Spokesperson Choi said, "Last year, Korea's Child Happiness Index scored 1.66 out of 4, ranking last among the 22 OECD countries surveyed. Children in Korea are not happy right now. We must create a Republic of Korea where children can grow up with dreams, hope, and happiness before it is too late."
