--------------- -----------------------------

▷ Young-Jin Joo / Anchor: Former President of the Republic of Korea Kim Dae-jung, the youngest son of Mrs. Hee-Ho Lee, now a member of the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea is. In addition to Kim Hong-geol, the Citizens' Party elected. Welcome to.

▶ Kim Hong-geul / Citizens' Party elected: Hello?

▷ Youngjin Joo / Anchor: How is it? Did you go and notify your parents?▶ Kim Hong-geul / Citizens' Party elected: Yes. On the morning after the election, Democrats and Citizens-elects went together to worship.

▷ Juyoungjin / Anchor: What did you say while worshiping?

▶ Kim Hong-geul / Citizens' Party elected: I had a lot of thoughts. Now, I thought that I would do my best to make peace on the Korean Peninsula by following my father's will.

▷ Young-Jin Joo / Anchor: What should be considered as being a son of former President Kim Dae-Jung, a growth process that is inseparable from politics from an early age?

▶ Kim Hong-geul / Citizens' Party elected: I watched politics and watched my father's various hardships, but in fact, I had no idea that I would do politics myself. It seems to have been done.

▷ Joo Young-Jin / Anchor: I didn't intend to do politics, but as time passed and passed, I became forced to do so. Do you mean that Kim Hong-geul's heart and will must be politicized?

▶ Kim Hong-geul / Citizens' Party elected: Yes. I should come out. So, because my father's mind and philosophy are gradually forgotten, and there are not many people who can succeed it, I thought that I should get out.

▷ Young-Jin Joo / Anchor: Former President Kim Dae-jung and Mrs. Hee-ho Lee said to their children, 'I hope you don't do some politics' in your lifetime.

▶ Kim Hong-geul / Citizens' Party elected: Well, my father told me to look at the job of politics like this difficult and difficult, a little messy, and look positively and positively. Although she was a lot like that, she was so much aware of her father's suffering, so she responded resolutely at the time, but she was very worried about her child going through the rough path again.

▷ Young-Jin Joo / Anchor: Many people still remember vividly, but in the spring of Seoul in 1980, the Gwangju Democratization Movement took place, and your father and former President Kim Dae-jung were sentenced to death by being driven by the military regime as a rebellion leader. Do you remember then?

▶ Kim Hong-geul / Citizens' Party elected: Yes. I was in the second year of high school. Now, in the middle of the night, there were rumors that my father didn't know what was going to happen that day, and many people came to the Donggyo-dong house to keep it, but no matter how many people there were, armed soldiers invaded it.

At that time, after my father was arrested, my elder brother was also arrested, tortured and jailed, and my elder brother was now caught in a fugitive life, so he wasn't in prison. So my mother and I were now students, so I was able to go to school without much oppression, but my mother also got a pension for almost 7-8 months now.

▷ Young-Jin Joo / Anchor: At that time, a letter written on a so-called toilet paper that my father and mother exchanged with each other, and the letter also appeared in a book later, but it impressed and impressed many people. Do you remember the letter you saw at that time?

▶ Kim Hong-geul / Citizens' Party elected: Yes. So if you think about it now, the letter is now a letter to the family, but it was written in such a fine way to write a little more than one month a month, this postcard can be used. I think I sent a signal saying, 'I am suffering, but I'm not dead, because I'm still there, believe me'.

▷ Young-Jin Joo / Anchor: Both parents received national respect and trust, and now they all passed away. What is the most impressive scene of the two youngest son Kim Hong-geul who I still remember, and what else is there?

▶ Kim Hong-geul / Citizen Party President-elect: When my father was sentenced to death, my father said, 'There is no compromise with the military regime. Even if I die, even if I lose my life, I will keep the principles until the end. 'But I hope that my mother and my family will make a reasonable compromise and save their lives. .

▷ Young-Jin Joo / Anchor: My mother showed a more solid appearance at that time.

▶ Kim Hong-geul / People's Party Leader-elect: Later, my father said later, “Crying and crying like other families, we can save our lives and save our lives this time. I didn't know, but my mother responded resolutely, so my father later said that he didn't waver.
▷ Young-Jin Joo / Anchor: Since President-elect Kim Hong-geul said that, I feel like I'm listening to what really happened. Both of your brothers were also members of the National Assembly.

▶ Kim Hong-geul / Citizens' Party elected: Yes.

▷ Young-Jin Joo / Anchor: By the way, did you both suffer?

▶ Kim Hong-geul / Citizens' Party elected: Yes.

▷ Joo Young-Jin / Anchor: Did you have any kind of pressure?

▶ Kim Hong-geul / People's Party Leader-elect: I don't know how many members of the National Assembly came out of our family, but I think it's important to see what kind of outcomes we're making as a member of the National Assembly. It's a father-made achievement, everyone knows, and now I don't have a father to go and ask for advice on the one hand, and there is no hill to lean on the other hand. I think that an environment has been created to do the right politics.

▷ Juyoungjin / Anchor: So this is the 20th anniversary of the historic first inter-Korean summit. Wasn't it the second year yesterday when President Moon Jae-in and Kim Jong-un's first inter-Korean summit talks were held?

▶ Kim Hong-geul / Citizens' Party elected: Yes, it is.

▷ Juyoungjin / Anchor: I think you were quite thinking yesterday.

▶ Kim Hong-geul / People's Party Leader: Yes, yesterday I went to Jejin Station and attended a historic event linking the northern line of the East Sea. No dramatic change will come right now, but if we prepare carefully one by one, we can prepare for an era in which inter-Korean cooperation is possible, a peace regime is built and we can reach the continent. I thought that what I prepared and studied will bear fruit.

▷ Young-Jin Joo / Anchor: Then, will President Kim Hong-geul become the Foreign Affairs Committee naturally when the term of office of the National Assembly starts?

▶ Kim Hong-geul / Citizens' Party elected: Yes, I think so.

▷ Young-Jin Joo / Anchor: And the position you took on this day also worked in the Minhwa Federation, right?

▶ Kim Hong-geul / Citizens' Party elected: Yes.

▷ Young-Jin Joo / Anchor: Minhwahyup is your father, wasn't it created in the days of former President Kim Dae-jung?

▶ Kim Hong-geul / Citizens' Party elected: Yes, it is.

▷ Young-Jin Joo / Anchor: What have you done in the Minhwa Federation?

▶ Kim Hong-geul / People's Party Leader-elect: I was the CEO, and for the first time in 2018, for the first time in 11 years, I held a large-scale event where representatives of the North and South participated. In addition, we are continuing to work with the North to bring the remains of the victims of forced mobilization in Japan to our land.

▷ Young-Jin Joo / Anchor: Do you have any contact or contact with the North? Isn't it now at the government level and at the authority level?
▶ Kim Hong-geul / Citizens' Party elected: Yes. In fact, it was not easy to contact indirectly after the Hanoi conference. But since we can't just watch with our hands, we have been in informally and indirectly since last autumn. In fact, if it weren't for this coronavirus situation, I could have seen something that could be shown to the public in the first half of this year, but I think it may be a little late, but there may be some good news within a couple of months.

▷ Young-Jin Joo / Anchor: There will be good news in two or three months. Did you put down the permanent chairmanship of Minhwahyup?

▶ Kim Hong-geul / Citizens' Party elected: Not yet. Now we need to talk to the National Assembly.

▷ Joo Young-Jin / Anchor: Can I work for you?

▶ Kim Hong-geul / Citizens' Party elected: Yes.

▷ Young-Jin Joo / Anchor: Because there are quite a few seats that lawmakers cannot serve as.

▶ Kim Hong-geul / Citizens' Party elected: Yes, it is.

▷ Young-Jin Joo / Anchor: I think that part should be carefully reviewed.

▶ Kim Hong-geul / Citizens' Party elected: Yes.

▷ Young-Jin Joo / Anchor: Father, who have been called Dongkyo Winter in the so-called media that helped your mother, have you become an elder? Kwon No-gap said that he was 92 this year.

▶ Kim Hong-geul / Citizens' Party elected: I know that's it.

▷ Young-Jin Joo / Anchor: Do you keep getting these contacts, their support, and support? How is it?

▶ Kim Hong-geul / Citizen Party President-elect: Well, now they serve as adults, but since they are not old enough to be active and active, I would rather have the second Kim Dae-jung come out from a younger generation who doesn't know his father. Now, we are planning to do such a future-oriented memorial project and commemorative project that will succeed and develop Kim Dae-jung's philosophy and ideas to fit the new era.

▷ Young-Jin Joo / Anchor: How would you summarize Kim Dae-jung's thoughts and philosophy?

▶ Kim Hong-geul / Citizens' Party elected: It is not easy to summarize in a word or two. At the very core, it can be said that politics for the cause is pursued for the distant future of the nation and the nation, not only following small interests.

▷ Juyoungjin / Anchor: 'The world where justice flows like a river' I suddenly remember the expression that always appeared in the speech of former President Kim Dae-jung. I remember what you said when you said 'a sense of consciousness and a sense of merchant reality'. Did you hear from your father and mother whenever you had a chance to grow those words?

▶ Kim Hong-geul / Citizens' Party elected: Yes. But in fact, when I was living in the past, there were many things that I did not fully understand and did not fully meet the expectations of adults, even though I had given good teaching to those parts. It seems that I realized that part only after my father passed away. In a way, it is the prodigal son who returned.

▷ Joo Young-Jin / Anchor: When former President Kim Dae-jung arrived by airplane at Sunan Airport in Pyongyang for the inter-Korean summit, he looked around the Pyongyang sky for a while before going down the track, looked back and came down again. This is a scene where a photo was taken. Some of these scenes are probably remembered by many people. He decided to politicize hard, and he is now leaving the beginning of his term as a member of Parliament. Let's make a clear promise to viewers once. Hong-geol Kim, the 21st member of the National Assembly, will do just that. Father, I promise to you.

▶ Kim Hong-geul / Citizens' Party elected: When entering the National Assembly, of course, any elects are now doing it, but everyone should do their best to overcome the corona crisis and save the economy. And, after solving the problem, we will do our best for the field so that our people can make a second leap forward by making efforts for peace on the Korean Peninsula and for the Korean people to advance to the continent together.

▷ Youngjin Joo / Anchor: I see. I heard with President Kim Hong-geul's promise to find a new breakthrough in inter-Korean relations with viewers. I heard you today.

▶ Kim Hong-geul / Citizen Party Elect: Thank you.
