Han Dong-hoon, head of People's Power, on Youth Day: ”The reality that the future is painful, it's embarrassing” (Korea)

Han Dong-hoon, leader of the ruling People's Power Party, said on the 21st, which was Youth Day, "We cannot force young people to follow a formulaic manual or insist that they sacrifice the present for tomorrow.
"We will further expand the stage that young people can fulfill and encourage the happiness of today that will lead to tomorrow's achievements," said Han in his post on Fei Book.
"The very act of designating Youth Day as a statutory holiday and holding various events on it seems to suggest that young people have a tough life, and it makes me feel heavy-hearted.
"The future, which could be called a bright future, is more like anxiety and fear than hope and fulfillment, and I feel ashamed as a member of the previous generation in the face of this painful reality," he added.
"When I was young, I thought that the opportunities and future that the previous generation had created were for our generation.
"I agree with the criticism that we have not been able to build a better life for young people. Therefore, I will make more efforts to improve the lives of young people," he wrote. Han said, "It is said that to dig a deep well, you must dig it wide.
"There's a saying that goes, 'If you dig wide, you can eventually dig deep.' It's difficult, but I believe that if you dig wide, you can eventually dig deep. I will help young people dig wide and deep wells," he emphasized.
Chu Kyung-ho, the author of People's Power, also wrote in his book, "The more competitive our society becomes, the more the scars are passed on to the young generation."
"It is sad and heartbreaking, especially since the anxiety felt by the younger generation is not simply an individual issue, but is linked to the structural problems facing society."
"I am well aware of the challenges and responsibilities given to the parent generation. I will be doing detailed research to bring it into line with the perspective of young people," Aki said.
