He said, "I admired the drive, insight, and foresight of former President Park Chung-hee, liked the reformist nature of YS (Kim Young-sam), the flexibility of DJ (Kim Dae-jung), and the common touch of Roh Moo-hyun." He then pointed out, "As the era of left-right division has continued for over 20 years, the gap of factional logic has deepened, and the country has been split into two."

Mayor Hong added, "Is there a superman riding a white horse who can unify my divided country?"
