----------------- ---------------------------
▷ Joo Young-jin/Anchor: Democratic Party Rep. Woo Sang-ho appeared yesterday, but today Rep. Park Yong-jin appeared.
Senator Park, welcome.
▶ Park Yong-jin, a Democratic Party member: Hello.
▷ Joo Young-jin/Anchor: After watching the video, a politician always has to remember everything he said, but in fact, how about it?
▶ Park Yong-jin, a member of the Democratic Party: It's new.
I thought it was passed as a filibuster in the 3rd Kindergarten Act, but when I was frustrated that day, I was condemning and suddenly gave me a microphone, and I was talking about the grandmother I met in the alley.
I was really hurt at that time, when I was clogged with the 3rd method of kindergarten filibuster.
▷ Joo Young-jin/Anchor: What do you think of the seat where Congressman Yong-jin Park stands in the ruling Democratic Party.
In the media, so-called'it is a parental letter, an inscription, something half-moon', but myself, I am a certain position in the Democratic Party.
I think you think about it a lot while politics.
▶ Park Yong-jin, a member of the Democratic Party: I want to play the role of Son Heung-min in soccer.
I want to play a brilliant role in the Democratic Party.
But that's not only that the Democratic Party is being applauded right now, but the role that the Democratic Party is not receiving applause and is silent about the things that the Democratic Party is pointing out, and sometimes speaking bitterly and profanely inside the Party, doing things right and doing things right .
Although it is absolutely necessary, I would like to play a role that does not rely on the majority and mainstream things, but thinks,'Park Yong-jin's existence alone has potential for the Democratic Party in the future.
▷ Joo Young-jin/Anchor: After becoming the ruling party because of what is called'a little persecution' in the 20th National Assembly, so Eung-cheon Jo, Tae-seop Geum, Yong-jin Park, Hae-young Kim.
These lawmakers sound right anyway.
Wasn't it a bit burdensome or something?
▶ Park Yong-jin, a Democratic Party member: No.
I am sorry that I am withdrawing from the party right now, but including Rep. Tae-seop Geum, Rep. Eung-cheon Cho and Hae-young Kim are talking a lot.
We have never done this as if we were making a faction together, and when we talked about something, we didn't start by sharing opinions, but as we did this, we were the people who were willing to say that our thoughts are similar and similar.
After saying something, I get a text message, a comment, a malicious comment, and when I go home, my second son, a first grader in junior high school, is at home saying,'Dad is swearing a lot today', but there are things that politicians should do. .
The politician speaks with confidence according to the will that the people supported and elected.
Also, if I know how to speak honestly even if I lose money, and if I know how to be courageous to do so, I think that a politician is going the way the people want.
Rep. Eung-Chun Cho is still playing a role as a member of the party, but Eung-Chun Cho is also very willing, and we, Hae-Young Kim, are the same young politician.
▷ Joo Young-jin/Anchor: The conflict between Minister Choo Mi-ae and Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol has continued virtually throughout the year. There is also such an evaluation that Minister Chu expressed his appreciation yesterday.
The disciplinary action against President Yoon Seok-yeol was 2 months of suspension.
Rep. Park Yong-jin probably asked a lot of questions about this part, but I have a little thought that the opinions on this were not so clear.
▶ Park Yong-jin, a Democratic Party member: I didn't want to talk much.
Now speaking to the people as a member of the ruling party in power, how embarrassing it is to show the people that the minister appointed by our president and the prosecutor general appointed by our president are in conflict on such a fictitious day.
The President also said yesterday in relation to this result,'I apologize as an appointment authority for the case where the President was disciplined', but it was also a really embarrassing thing when considering the phase of the conflict for the past 10 and 11 months.
So I don't want to tell you in particular, but I don't think the punishment of Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol is the fulfillment of the institutional reform called prosecution reform.
There is another institutional reform.
And most of the institutional reforms were institutional reforms except for the revision of the law during the time of the Minister of Korea.
Also, since the institutional reforms that we think we need have passed a lot through the regular National Assembly this time, I think it is a matter to look closely at these things to see if there are any side effects and errors in the application process.
President Yoon Suk-yeol has announced a lawsuit now, but if he makes a little bit of a word to President Yoon Suk-yeol, there are quite a few people who feel uncomfortable with the appointment authority and opening up this form of confrontation in court.
And I want you to think about whether it is appropriate.
I've said before that the people would appreciate it if they could think about it, but it is also appropriate to talk about the prosecutionist's appearance as if he had no responsibility for this chaotic situation where he is loyal to the prosecution and only loves the prosecution. Without.
So, I hope that you will save that political sense that you do not have, so that you can think more about discipline.
▷ Joo Young-jin/Anchor: On the way to work the day the disciplinary committee is held, the supporters appearing in front of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office suddenly got off and said,'Don't come from today, it's got colder'. It does.
▶ Park Yong-jin, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea: I wonder if it was necessary to come down again.
I think that it may have been because of the cold weather, but this would create a useless controversy, but I also feel regretful for what I was doing.
▷ Joo Young-jin/Anchor: I'll ask this question as a last question.
The president's remarks that Minister Choo Mi-ae praised the prosecution reform and yesterday at the Blue House.
I talked about the reform of the prosecution, but the words and actions that Minister Choo Mi-ae showed in the National Assembly over the past year have made the purpose of the prosecution reform a little negative.
As you said earlier, it is regrettable whether the reform of the prosecutors' office was made to be seen like this:'The reform of the prosecution will soon drive out President Yoon Suk-yeol'.
I saw some ruling party lawmakers and ruling party politicians expressing it like that, but Lee Nak-yeon also expressed euphemism in this way,'it's a matter of style'. What do you think?
▶ Park Yong-jin, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea: Because everything else is gone.
If you are a former member of the 5th National Assembly, I think you will know better than anyone what the weight of the National Assembly and the position of the standing committee.
Nevertheless, I didn't agree very much about serving as a minister and causing useless controversy in the National Assembly.
Even though I'm only going to be re-elected, is there a lot of distrust and criticism about the National Assembly because the people have high expectations for the Korean National Assembly?
As stipulated by our constitution, it is true that members of the government and members of the state council come to the National Assembly to inquire on behalf of the people and give answers faithfully to the members of the National Assembly who are questioning.
I think so.
▷ Joo Young-jin/Anchor: Park Yong-jin's district is Seoul?
▶ Park Yong-jin, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea: This is Gangbuk-gu, Seoul.
▷ Joo Young-jin/Anchor: Kang Buk-eul, re-election member.
▶ Park Yong-jin, a Democratic Party member: Yes.
▷ Joo Young-jin/Anchor: Then, yesterday, Rep. Woo Sang-ho declared for running, but please tell us clearly.
Do you have any plans to run for mayor of Seoul?
▶ Park Yong-jin, a Democratic Party member: Yes.
The mayor of Seoul is worried about a lot of great people from our party.
There is also Rep. Sang-ho Woo, who threw a vote, and I hope that they will play a role in doing so.
▷ Joo Young-jin/Anchor: In some media, I think that Rep. Park Yong-jin is a politician that reporters like. There are a lot of articles that cite Rep. Park Yong-jin's remarks on some issues.
In some media, Congressman Park Yong-jin will be the next year.
There was an article with the purpose of'I will run for the presidential election for the Democratic Party, I made up my will, I made up my mind.'
▶ Park Yong-jin, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea: I stand alone.
However, it is not a problem to be done alone, but I have been thinking very deeply since a year ago.
Constantly, the answer to what I would do then was prepared by myself.
However, I still have to talk a lot with my fellow lawmakers about what to do in the Democratic Party's presidential nominations and in-party candidate decisions scheduled for September next year.
I am listening to opinions while talking with about 30 or 40 lawmakers.
In fact, in the future, we will need to hear more opinions from our fellow lawmakers, more than re-election, and those who have been working together like this for more than four years.
Specifically, I have a personal determination that I should have a little more to talk about my plans related to running for a run.
▷ Joo Young-jin/Anchor: Personally, I was determined to run for a run, but I will make the final decision after talking a little with the people around me.
Personally, if you were determined, there would be no reason for that.
▶ Park Yong-jin, a member of the Democratic Party: Over 70 years have passed since the Republic of Korea established the government.
Although there were many twists and turns and there were many crises, Korea has been doing well.
However, there is no guarantee that you will continue to do well the way you have been doing for the last 70 years.
So did I and my parents' generation.
There was hope for the future, saying,'If you live diligently, you can live well.'
And there was conviction, and the generation of my parents watched us make it happen.
The faces of their joy when they prepared a house, and my father, who put a car in a narrow alley and showed off the car to our brothers and sisters, are vivid to me.
And my generation and the generation of our main reporter were able to do this in connection with my efforts.
However, when I look at the future of Korea in 2020 to 2030, 40, and 50 years, is it a bright future, is it possible to do well?Is politics really playing a role in such a future hope?
So, it gives dynamism to politics.
I think that in order to make a difference in our society, at least young politicians and young politicians who speak honestly without hesitation against vested interests should take an active role, and I want to assume that role.
▷ Joo Young-jin/Anchor: Excuse me for Congressman Park Yong-jin, but how many years are you?
▶ Park Yong-jin, a member of the Democratic Party: I was born in April 71.
▷ Joo Young-jin/Anchor: Born in April, 71.
▶ Park Yong-jin, a member of the Democratic Party, so he is still 49 years old.
That's right.
▷ Joo Young-jin/Anchor: You were born in the 70s.
▶ Park Yong-jin, a Democratic Party member: Yes.
▷ Joo Young-jin/Anchor: There are a lot of voices of criticism about the 586 generation, the so-called 80's, the generation who went to college.
Then, if you want to realistically think about running for the presidential election, Rep. Park Yong-jin said that some people have tremendous fandom or strong support from those who dominate the Democratic Party and those who support the Democratic Party, or that they belong to that camp. Anyway, it will be the main reason for deciding to run. Rep. Park Yong-jin is talking about that today. Isn't it a little far from the huge fandom and the strong support of the ruling party's mainstream?
Maybe you're feeling a little bad.
▶ Park Yong-jin, a Democratic Party member: No.
I have to make it.
Isn't it the role of a challenger to create something like that?
So because it is the role of the challenger and the role of the pioneer who pioneers something.
I think that'I don't have it' will be a process of taking it and making it.
President Roh Moo-hyun and President Kim Dae-jung were non-mainstream in our society.
He was a politician who spoke for the weak in our society and told the stories we needed.
So there were a lot of hard work in the process.
And there were many difficult things.
Nevertheless, through such a process, aren't you those who have played a lot of role in transforming the Republic of Korea by gaining trust from the people and talking about the direction of change in the Republic of Korea that they think, and finally obtaining public approval for it?
When you think about that, it's not a fixed place to be called the Democratic Party.
I think the Democratic Party is the best space where you can dream first and do what you think, when that thought grows to make a difference, and that change grows to change the world.
In that respect, the role of a politician who challenges and pioneers change will be shown by Park Yong-jin for the third time in the Democratic Party and in Korea.
▷ Joo Young-jin/Anchor: Okay.
Former President Kim Dae-jung and former President Roh Moo-hyun talked, and when Rep. Park Yong-jin finally came to the conclusion, he came to our program once again at that time and interviewed with Rep. I will definitely have a chance to do it.
▶ Park Yong-jin, a Democratic Party member: Thank you.
▷ Joo Young-jin/Anchor: I heard you well today.
