Kim Jong-in, chairman of the Emergency Response Committee of the United Party, who visited the May 18 Democratic Cemetery, wrote in the guestbook, "I will support the spirit of May 18 democratization."

And I read the apology.

[Kim Jong-in/Future Integration Party Emergency Response Committee Chairman: In May, our party was unable to take a more severe reversal due to the misrepresentation and actions of some people who damage the mind. As the person in charge of the party, I sincerely apologize.]

Chun Doo-hwan also apologized for his participation in the National Security Emergency Response Committee established by the new military ministry.

I cried for a while and couldn't connect.

[Kim Jong-in/Future Integration Party Emergency Response Committee Chair: My repentance and reflection are today… Honam's long sadness and frustration.] I

knelt in front of a memorial tower for the first time as a conservative party leader.

[Kim Jong-in/Future Integration Party Emergency Response Committee Chairman: I should have apologized and reflected a hundred times already, but now I have taken that first step.] The

Democratic Party is wary of commenting on whether it is a topic change visit in the situation where Corona 19 is re-proliferating. It is powerful.

[Huh Yun-jung/Democratic Party spokesman: Instead of kneeling, adopt the 5·18 Special Act as a party issue. Instead of crying in front of the Confucian Tower, please try to find out the facts of May 18.]

Chairman Jong-in Kim said that he would cooperate within the scope of agreement on the May 18 3 Act.

Whether the unification party's recent move is simply a political approach to the Honam vote or a sincere action, Chairman Kim has now taken the first step as he said.
