The name of Roh Moo-hyun briefly brought South Korea’s ruling bloc together. Factions that had recently faced off at the Democratic Party convention appeared united while marking the late former president’s 80th birthday.

The gathering came after sharp divisions between supporters of President Lee Jae-myung and supporters of Chung Chung-rae. The two camps had been involved in intense confrontation during the party convention, but the anniversary created a common point of reference.

The Roh Moo-hyun Foundation marked the occasion by publishing Roh’s first official biography on the afternoon of the anniversary. President Lee said leaders should protect their principles while searching for answers that can change people’s lives.

We must find answers that change people’s lives while upholding our principles.
