Former lawmaker Lee Jung-hyun: "Korean politics is fiercely contested… it must become a politics respected by the world as an advanced nation"
Published
Former National Assembly member Lee Jung-hyun said that Korean politics is very intense. While pointing out that conflict in Korean politics runs deep, he stressed that, as Korea has advanced in the economic and social spheres, its politics should also reach a level respected around the world.
Former lawmaker Lee referred to the process by which Korean society has developed its democracy. He explained that citizen participation has increased compared with the past and that various systems have been improved. However, he added that as confrontation between political parties has intensified, public fatigue with politics is also growing.
As conflict in the political sphere continues, the public is expecting politicians to show a willingness to cooperate and compromise. Experts believe that political competition is the foundation of democracy, but that social trust can only grow when an attitude of respect for opponents exists alongside it.
Former lawmaker Lee's remarks reflect the concern that Korean politics must earn trust not only at home but also in the international community. Many people are watching how the political sphere will communicate and resolve its conflicts going forward.
