Former Daegu Mayor Hong Joon-pyo Reflects on Political Future from Hawaii

While residing in the United States, former Daegu Mayor Hong Joon-pyo stated on June 2, "No matter who takes power, my country, with its perfected system, will no longer fall apart." In a Facebook post early that morning, he expressed sadness over the events unfolding back home, but remained optimistic, saying, "After tomorrow, a new world will open up." He also noted that this is the first presidential election he will not participate in since becoming an adult. Hong referenced Kim Jong-pil, who described politics as a 'hollow profession' in his later years, and mentioned his intention to leave behind the disillusionment of his 30-year political career as he returns with a light heart across the Pacific Ocean.
