Lee Jae-myeong, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, said upon his return on the 17th, “Compared to the realistic difficulties and pain experienced by all people in the world, these things I have experienced are probably trivial.”

Representative Lee met with reporters in front of the National Assembly headquarters on his way to work that day and said this. It has been 15 days since the attack in Busan on the 2nd. He said, “The National Assembly is new and meeting the media is also new,” and “It feels a little unfamiliar, but also familiar.”

He continued, “I think many people will be surprised at the beginning of the new year,” and added, “I will do my best to carry out the responsibility given to me and entrusted to me by the people.”

Representative Lee did not answer questions about the withdrawal of non-affiliated lawmakers from the party and his stance on the electoral system. However, when asked about the controversy over the nomination of ‘assassins’ by pro-name figures for non-affiliated constituencies, he said, “Nothing has been nominated yet.” “Are you saying that because we won the primary?” he asked, laughing.

The Democratic Party hung a backdrop (banner background) with the phrase ‘Again, for a new beginning’ in the Supreme Committee meeting room. At the Supreme Council meeting he presided over for the first time after returning, Representative Lee said, “While I was hospitalized and resting at home, all kinds of thoughts came to mind,” and “It is about trying to live, and it is about trying to save, but politics is becoming a place of death.” “I think so,” he said. At the same time, he said, “If I don’t eliminate the opponent, I feel anxious and politics is becoming a war because I think I will have everything.”
