"Since 2019, I have always lived on the edge"
"Regarding President Yoon's impeachment, I will gather public opinion and organize rallies"

Jo Guk, leader of the Jo Guk Innovation Party, stated on the 25th regarding the announcement of the Supreme Court ruling date, "I will silently await the verdict, reflecting on the saying that 'the court is the last bastion the defendant can rely on.'"


At the Supreme Council meeting that day, Jo said, "Since the Supreme Court ruling date has been announced as December 12 next month, I will briefly express my position."


He reflected, "Since 2019, I have always lived standing on the edge of a blade," adding, "I have agonized on the blade, made decisions on the blade, and acted on the blade." This briefly referred to the time he and his family endured after experiencing the so-called 'Jo Guk incident' following his nomination as Minister of Justice during the Moon Jae-in administration, and the process leading to his decision to enter politics up to the present.

Jo also said, "Before and after December 12, the activities of the Jo Guk Innovation Party will remain unchanged."


He expressed his determination to calmly face the upcoming trial and continue his work. Jo stated, "In the Analects, there is a phrase ‘Yeojosakbi (如鳥數飛),’ which means that just as a bird must flap its wings countless times to fly, learning requires continuous effort. I will tirelessly carry out my duties like ‘Yeojosakbi.’"



Meanwhile, after mentioning the series of political declarations released by university professors, Jo said, "The Jo Guk Innovation Party is publicly disclosing the impeachment proposal to gather citizens' opinions and is traveling nationwide holding 'Impeachment Cafes.' We will gather more public opinion and organize rallies more effectively."
