Han Dong-hoon: 'I would walk the same thorny political path again'

Independent lawmaker Han Dong-hoon declared on Monday that he would tread the same path again, despite the political hardships he faced. His remarks came in response to questions from reporters outside the National Assembly.

“

I walked a thorny political path because of the decisions and actions I took as a South Korean citizen and as the leader of the People Power Party. But if I could go back to that time, I would walk the same path.

Han referenced his past actions, including leading the vote to lift the Dec. 3 emergency decree and his subsequent expulsion from the People Power Party due to the 'party board incident.' "I walked a thorny political path because of the decisions and actions I took as a South Korean citizen and as the leader of the People Power Party," he said. "But if I could go back to that time, I would walk the same path."

"Today, I have returned here through the power of the citizens," Han stated. "I will faithfully carry out my legislative duties to develop the region, rebuild conservatism, and prevent the abuse of power, as strongly desired by the citizens."

Regarding his potential return to the People Power Party, Han noted, "I said I would return on the first day I was expelled." However, he added, "I don't think this is the stage to consider the specific procedures."
