So, the person named Roh Moo-hyun

Description
Book Introduction
The history of Roh Moo-hyun is the history of words and writing!
President Roh Moo-hyun was a logical person.
His words were full of fighting spirit, and his writing was sharp.
It had the smell of the field, different from the smooth sentences of a professional writer.
As president, Roh Moo-hyun had many problems, especially with his words and actions.
Unpolished sentences, words and actions that don't fit familiar formulas - we have a new type of president.
President Roh Moo-hyun said this about the news at the time that raised issues with his words and actions during his term.
I saw on the news that the president talks a lot.
They tell me to cut down on my talking.
Dictators rule by force, democratic leaders rule by words.
An emperor needs no words, he needs power and majesty.
But in a democratic society, a leader who cannot speak can never become a leader.
Among the leaders of democratic countries around the world, which one does not speak out?
Former President Clinton also spoke a great deal, and British Prime Minister Tony Blair appeared in the Houses of Parliament, debating, exchanging blows, rebutting, and making sarcastic remarks with the opposition leader.
If I had not been allowed to speak during the (2002 presidential) election, how would I have become president?
Are you telling me to just shut my mouth the day I'm elected president?
That's nonsense.
Among the (ruling) tools that the president has, the most important are the power to appoint personnel and speak.

President Roh Moo-hyun was particularly good at giving speeches.
President Roh's appearance on the podium was that of a fighter.
Although unrefined, it was easy to understand and explained all the issues to the public in a clear and concise manner.
The first sentence of the Korea-Japan relations statement was “Dokdo is our land!” This heart-pounding phrase was the very first line of the speech that day.
President Roh Moo-hyun's interpellation of the government during his first term as a member of the National Assembly truly reveals the true nature of the man he was.
Here are two parts of the government inquiry.
“You’re telling me to take your kids and kill them!” This is the spirit of a first-term lawmaker shouting without the slightest hint of intimidation in a place where numerous government ministers and multi-term lawmakers are sitting.
I recommend listening to this article along with the audio recording from that time.
This book contains the history of President Roh Moo-hyun's words and writings.
He left behind numerous words while he was alive, but among them, I have selected only those that particularly show the essence of 'Roh Moo-hyun'.
I have collected only those things that clearly show Roh Moo-hyun's spirit.
All the words in this book are about Roh Moo-hyun.
Even those who know Roh Moo-hyun probably don't have much experience reading his writings.
Let's get to know Roh Moo-hyun through his writing and speech.
I recommend this book to everyone who wishes for peace and progress on this land.

Into the book
I think the ideal society is one where everyone lives together without worrying about food and clothing, without seeing dirty and ugly things, and so each day can go on with a bit of excitement.
If this world is a bit too greedy, I think it would be a world where people don't take their own lives because they find it difficult to live or because they are angry and sad.
--- From "First-term lawmaker Roh Moo-hyun's first question to the government"
But I don't believe that our efforts to reject being a puppet of power, including the neutralization of the police, the independence of the judiciary, and the democratization of the press, have disappeared.
Even if the results are small and progress is slow, don't our people support it and demand it?
Our great people who have fought to establish a just and righteous power.
Our path cannot be paved with victory alone.
But just as what we fear is not defeat but defeatism, I also believe that the time will soon come when I and many others who share the same goal of democratizing this land can overcome their sense of helplessness and come together.
--- From "What we fear is not defeat, but defeatism"
The Chosun Ilbo must come to terms with its own dark past.
Now that the truth about the corruption has been revealed, the owner of the Chosun Ilbo must either apologize to the public and return freedom of the press to its reporters, or step down from running the media company.
The reporters of the Chosun Ilbo must return to their original stance to protect their noble rights.
We must have the courage to protest against the violation of the very essence of freedom of the press and to preserve a minimum of conscience.
Citizens must have the discernment to avoid being swayed by biased reporting in the media.
We must become proud citizens who protest against false reports.
We must fight against the Chosun Ilbo, which obstructs historical progress by engaging in distorted reporting.
--- From "Why I Fight the Chosun Ilbo"
Now I can't help it.
I am a person who wants to be a political leader, not a rebel leader.
But I cannot resist this rebellion.
I too have no choice but to become the leader of the rebels.
This rebellion is a rebellion against the vested interests of this dishonest society, a rebellion against the outdated political culture, a rebellion against the politics of the migratory bird, who come and go without principles or convictions, and a rebellion against the politics of disobedience, which ignores principles and commits foul play and disobedience.
Shouldn't we have a rebellion like this? --- From "The Day the Wind Blasts"
The last bastion of democracy is the organized power of an awakened citizenry.
This is our future.
As long as we have the task of history, the Nosamo cannot end.
Nosamo is not an organization for Roh Moo-hyun.
This is a group of people who love the world and want to make the world a better place.
This is a gathering for Korean democracy and a new history.
I, too, will become a member of the National Assembly when my term ends.
I will return to you as your friend.
Until then, let me do my best as President, and let you do your best as conscious citizens.
--- From "The last bastion of democracy is the organized power of an awakened citizenry"
We will not place any value above peace, and if we manage our relationships with peace as our highest value, I believe we can manage to ensure that peace is not broken.
We will never tolerate North Korea's nuclear weapons and will work to ensure their elimination.
However, I believe that efforts to scrap it must be managed so that they do not become the trigger for another conflict.
Therefore, we will manage the nuclear issue stably through extremely rational and cool-headed judgment until it is finally disposed of, and ultimately resolve the nuclear issue by creating an order for peace and shared prosperity in inter-Korean relations and throughout Northeast Asia.
If this world is a bit too greedy, I think it would be a world where people don't take their own lives because they find it difficult to live or because they are angry and sad.

Publisher's Review
This book is divided into four parts.
Part 1, 'Roh Moo-hyun's Challenge', collects writings from the time he was elected as the 13th National Assembly member from Dong-gu, Busan after his suspension from practicing law, to the night before he was elected president, when the winds of the Roh Moo-hyun Movement blew like a storm.
It fully captures the image of attorney Roh Moo-hyun and National Assemblyman Roh Moo-hyun, who have dedicated themselves to the labor movement and human rights movement.
Part 2, 'Humble Power, Roh Moo-hyun', is a collection of writings from his presidency.
Compared to the first part of the text, it is relatively refined, which is thought to be due to the speech being somewhat edited in the Blue House Secretariat, but despite this, Roh Moo-hyun's spirit is vividly alive and breathing.
Part 3, “Freedom and Peace for Our People,” describes President Roh Moo-hyun’s wish for peace and unification of the nation.
Above all other values, including unification and economic development, are the freedom and peace of the people.
We can see his will and efforts toward peace.
Part 4, 'Conversation with Roh Moo-hyun', features a conversation between author Yoo Si-min and President Roh Moo-hyun.
This conversation took place on February 15, 2002.
At the time, President Roh Moo-hyun was a senior advisor to the Democratic Party, and writer Yoo Si-min was working as a current affairs commentator.
At the time, President Roh Moo-hyun had already declared his candidacy for the presidential election, so this interview had a strong character as a pre-election interview with a presidential candidate.
100% Roh Moo-hyun, Roh Moo-hyun Complete Works [7 Volumes]
Everyone has memories of Roh Moo-hyun.
There may be a book or two on the bookshelf.
There are so many memories, especially for 'Nosamo' who loved him.
There are fragments of memories: memories of delivering the Hope Pig to create a president for the common people, memories of seeing him off in the rain in Bongha, memories of crying out loud in Seoul Plaza.
But no one is 100% like Roh Moo-hyun.
Because there was no anthology that gathered all of him.
Roh Moo-hyun, who was there for everyone but not for anyone, not a piecemeal Roh Moo-hyun, but 100% Roh Moo-hyun.
Publishing the complete works of President Roh Moo-hyun
It's the 10th anniversary of President Roh Moo-hyun's death.
The Roh Moo-hyun Foundation looked back on the changes in our society that occurred over the past 10 years and the projects the foundation had undertaken.
Now, beyond mourning and remembrance, we must focus our efforts on working with citizens to more deeply and broadly spread the thoughts and intentions of President Roh Moo-hyun, who sought to open a "world for people to live in."
The first step is to publish the complete works of President Roh Moo-hyun.
In the process of compiling President Roh Moo-hyun's books published by various publishers into a complete collection, we carefully reviewed relevant materials to correct errors and mistakes, resulting in a more accurate text.
For citizens seeking to understand, study, and evaluate the life and philosophy of President Roh Moo-hyun, this collection will serve as a reliable and trustworthy resource.
We have compiled and created a collection of the words and writings of President Roh Moo-hyun that are not included in existing books and that deserve to be widely disseminated.
Volume 1, “Honey, Please Help Me,” Volume 2, “Roh Moo-hyun’s Leadership Story,” Volume 3, “Success and Frustration,” Volume 4, “The Future of Progress,” and Volume 5, “It’s Destiny,” are books that have already been published, but Volume 6, which contains the words and writings of President Roh Moo-hyun, is a newly compiled book.
The seventh volume, available only through the complete set, is a chronology of President Roh Moo-hyun with photographs.
If you place this book alongside the previous ones, you will come across President Roh Moo-hyun's life in a richer and more three-dimensional way.
President Roh Moo-hyun held the most responsible public office in South Korea, yet he was unusually humble and easygoing for a human being.
To convey the feeling of 'Roh Moo-hyun the person', I created a book that is simple yet classy and easy for readers to read.
On behalf of President Roh Moo-hyun, I would like to express my warm gratitude to Dolbegae Publishing, which has put its heart and soul into producing this collection, and to the 90,000 supporters who have helped create and nurture the Roh Moo-hyun Foundation over the past decade.
I hope that young people who did not directly experience Roh Moo-hyun's era will encounter his life and philosophy through the "Roh Moo-hyun Complete Works."
