President Lee: 'Judicial Murder, Knife Attacks, Honor Killings Are Three Major Threats'

President Lee Jae-myung stated on May 9, "Judicial murder through manipulated prosecutions, knife attacks orchestrated by terrorists, and honor killings driven by manipulated media are the three major threats to our lives. The people, or heaven, have saved me from these grave threats, so my life now belongs entirely to the people."

The president made these remarks on his X (formerly Twitter) account while sharing an article about the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission's conclusion regarding inappropriate intervention by former Vice Chairman Jeong Seung-yoon in the handling of the helicopter emergency report incident during his tenure as the leader of the Democratic Party in 2024.

He added, "Heaven has entrusted me with a mission beyond preserving my life, which is to create a nation that operates solely for the people and a power that serves only the citizens. Thank you, citizens."

President Lee promised, "Until my last moment, I will dedicate myself wholeheartedly to the people, even if it means breaking my body for heaven and the citizens."

Jeong Il-yeon, the chairman of the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission, announced the results of the task force's efforts to normalize the commission the previous day, confirming that Jeong Seung-yoon had included matters not discussed in the commission meeting in the official document related to the helicopter emergency report incident in July 2024.
