I think about Lee Jae-myeong's usefulness.
A diligent conservative! A man obsessed with economics and results!

Conservatives are not afraid of change.
We simply reject changes that cannot afford to fail.
Conservatives in Korea have always been like that.
Conservatives were never a group that 'protected and maintained'.
The Syngman Rhee administration's land reform, which laid the foundation for South Korea's industrialization, and the Roh Tae-woo administration's Northern Policy, which expanded the foundation of economic activity to the entire world, were radical challenges that destroyed the existing order.
Park Chung-hee's policy of fostering large corporations and challenging the heavy chemical industry goes without saying.
Although he was the president of a country belonging to the free world bloc led by the United States, he willingly took the risk of conflict with the United States for the sake of Korea's future.
Challenge has always been a virtue of Korean conservatism.
Also, conservatives have always been sensitive to failure.
When progressives cried out for causes and ideals, conservatives asked for results.
“The cause and ideals are good.
But how should people live right now?”
This is the question that becomes the starting point of conservatism.
Does such a conservative exist today? Yes, it does.
It's Lee Jae-myung!

Lee Jae-myung is from the Democratic Party, but he is quite different from the existing Democratic Party politicians we have seen for a long time.
He doesn't understand the dogma of long-standing progressive politics.
No, ignore it.
I am more interested in alleviating suffering here and now than in ideological struggles in the name of justice and righteousness.
In that respect, Lee Jae-myung can be said to be Park Chung-hee's successor.
The most important thing in evaluating Park Chung-hee's success is that he was a system designer.
Health insurance, the New Community Movement, the Comprehensive National Development Plan, the heavy chemical industry policy? They were all about building systems.
It was a plan to change the structure itself, rather than resorting to populism that overdoes favors on the people.
It is in the same context as Lee Jae-myung's basic income.
While Park Chung-hee took a structural approach to rural poverty, Lee Jae-myung aims to address urban poverty structurally and create a system that will prevent South Korea from falling behind in the ranks of advanced countries.

Lee Jae-myung grew up on the streets.
I began my political career by embracing my wounds and studying, and by being angry but not consumed by them.
That is why we know that although politicians can talk about justice, they cannot make a living from it.
We know that values ​​cannot overcome structure, and that slogans cannot replace systems.
So, we want to deal with values, but show them as results implemented in the system.
Lee Jae-myung is a result-oriented person.
He was an enemy of the conservative camp because he was a member of the Democratic Party.
Within the Democratic Party, it was considered non-mainstream because it was not value-centered.
This is precisely what proves Lee Jae-myeong's usefulness.

Lee Jae-myung is a conservative.
No, to be precise, he is a person who has inherited the essence of conservatism that Korean politics has long forgotten.
The current 'self-proclaimed conservatives' are no longer conservatives.
It is nothing more than a “politics of memory” and a “politics of afterimages” that mimics the sentiments of past powers.
On the other hand, Lee Jae-myung is taking risks and trying to design a new structure.
There are still conservatives in this land.
The conservative is Lee Jae-myung.

The state must feed its people.
Who will inherit Park Chung-hee's pragmatic nationalism?

Park Chung-hee, a proponent of national self-reliance, placed nationalism, represented by Kim Gu and Ahn Jung-geun, at the center, but he did not discriminate between ideology and faction as long as the people could survive.
The core of Park Chung-hee's conservatism was pragmatic nationalism.
He was not afraid of friction with the United States, unlike the self-proclaimed conservatives in Korea who would die if they saw the United States.
Park Chung-hee adopted anti-communism as well as anti-Japanese nationalism as his national policy, but he endured the humiliating Korea-Japan Basic Agreement in order to lay the foundation for industrialization.
He was a pragmatist who cared about the survival of his people.
All of Park Chung-hee's policies, including the New Community Movement, the promotion of heavy and chemical industries, national health insurance, and the national land development plan, were his own clear answers to the question, "What is a nation?"
The country must maintain its fundamentals while also having a structure that feeds its people.
For Park Chung-hee, a nation meant ‘survival’ and ‘self-reliance.’

Lee Jae-myung only acknowledges democratization and does not ignore industrialization.
The opposite is also true.
He acknowledges both democratization and industrialization.
He acknowledges both the '30 years of industrialization' and the '30 years of democratization' and speaks of the '30 years of basic society' that will come on that foundation.
If Korea is currently a country that has barely crossed the threshold of becoming a developed country, its goal is to become a country that cannot be left behind in the future.
Lee Jae-myung intends to use the history of both the left and the right in Korea as the foundation for the future.
Therefore, we do not criticize Park Chung-hee just because he was a Democratic Party politician.
Rather, it is closer to the opposite.
He positively evaluates Park Chung-hee's strong driving force and state-led industrialization strategy.
He is not a liar who suddenly started talking about 'growth' in 2025, as the other side insults him.
Lee Jae-myung already acknowledged Park Chung-hee in his pledge for the 2021 presidential election and proudly called him a protagonist of history who would inherit his legacy.
Park Chung-hee had many faults, but his achievements must also be acknowledged.
At the time, Lee Jae-myung affirmed the "state-led development of science and technology, inherited from Park Chung-hee," and declared that this historical trend must be inherited.
He emphasized this again in his book, “In the End, the People Do It,” published four years later.
“There is no opposition, no progressive or conservative, for a better life and a better future.”

If there is someone who knows how to bow his head humbly before the forefathers of the independence and national foundation movements, such as Mr. Kim Gu and Dr. Ahn Jung-geun, and who upholds the values ​​and constitutional order of the Constitution as stipulated in the current Constitution, and who can save the economy and security of the Republic of Korea from destruction, then he or she is a true conservative.
At this point in time, the conservative in South Korea who fits those criteria is Lee Jae-myung.
In addition, he is the only person who can inherit Park Chung-hee's pragmatic national self-reliance theory.
In that respect, it is a sad farce that those who consider themselves conservatives are being swayed by the 'virtual Lee Jae-myung' created by the People Power Party, the prosecution, conservative media, the New Right, and far-right YouTubers and are opposing him without knowing much about it.
If you are going to oppose, you should do so in a reasonable manner.
That would be an appropriate response to conservative Lee Jae-myung.

For a practical and constructive Korea-US relationship
We need Lee Jae-myung

What would have happened to US-ROK relations if Harrison, rather than Trump, had taken office under the Biden administration in January 2025? While the Korean media has glossed over the issue, the Biden administration has clearly criticized martial law.
Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell, then the second-in-command at the State Department, criticized President Yoon Seok-yeol's martial law actions as "illegitimate" and said he had "badly misjudged."
It means 'illegal and unjustifiable'.
It is extremely rare for a senior State Department official to publicly use such language with an allied leader.
Some Democratic lawmakers in the United States have called President Yoon a “rogue president” and characterized martial law as an “attempted coup.”
It was a de facto "diplomatic impeachment" by the United States against the leader of an ally.
While South Korea's judicial system took more than 120 days to remove him, Washington diplomatically removed him in just a few days.
In this situation, if the Yoon Seok-yeol administration had continued and the Harris administration, an extension of the Biden administration, had been launched, how would South Korea-U.S. relations have developed?

Washington's strategists are quick to calculate.
The Trump camp observed the early presidential election process in 2017, which took place immediately after the impeachment of former President Park Geun-hye.
Trump's second-term administration's Asia officials will already be preparing a "Lee Jae-myung profile" to deliver to their bosses on June 3rd.
During the martial law and impeachment period, the so-called 'Taegeukgi Unit's' Gwanghwamun protests featured not only the Taegeukgi but also the American flag.
Meanwhile, he was under the delusion that Trump would 'save' former President Yoon Seok-yeol.
But that didn't happen.
I would like to ask those who regard the ROK-US alliance as a golden rule and believe that pro-Americanism is the foundation of conservatism.
The United States is cutting ties with Yoon Seok-yeol and preparing for dialogue with Lee Jae-myung.
But I don't understand why, in a place where the Taegeukgi and the American flag are waving together, Lee Jae-myung is called the leader of anti-Americanism and leftism.
In fact, they are the ones who started the civil war.
If what those who claim that pro-Americanism is conservative is true, then conservatives should support Lee Jae-myung.

It is impossible to say for sure what the outcome of the 'Lee Jae-myung vs. Trump' matchup will be.
But at least it will be more advantageous for us than the People Power Party politicians who produced Yoon Seok-yeol, who was abandoned by the United States.
South Korea's diplomacy is not limited to dealing with the White House and the U.S. administration.
The Democratic Party, which still holds a significant stake in Washington's political landscape, is also important.
The U.S. Democratic Party quickly diplomatically impeached Yoon Seok-yeol, who had instigated the martial law rebellion.
Therefore, Lee Jae-myung, the opposition leader who suppressed the illegal martial law, can assert his legitimacy as the leader of an ally in front of the United States, the cradle of democracy.
South Korea succeeded in saving face before the United States by removing the leader of the rebellion from power through democratic and legal procedures.
The new regime's new leader awaits the next turn to demonstrate a different, more successful diplomacy than before.
