"If I take on the role of Prime Minister, I will dedicate myself to addressing the urgent economic challenges facing the public," she said.
Han noted that in her second year, it is crucial to build on the achievements of the past year and to spread tangible, visible changes that citizens can feel more rapidly and broadly.
Additionally, she pledged to listen to diverse voices from all sectors of society and to work towards resolving conflicts. "I will communicate sincerely with the National Assembly and foster close cooperation among government ministries, always maintaining a humble approach to ensure a prosperous South Korea for everyone. I promise to approach the National Assembly's confirmation hearing with sincerity and humility," she stated.
When asked about the sale of multiple properties under her name, Han replied, "I will answer that question sincerely during the confirmation hearing."
Regarding her commitment to the Prime Minister position, she quoted novelist Kim Ae-ran's work, saying, "I realized that in life, some tensions must be overcome, and some performances must be completed before stepping off the stage, regardless of the world's recognition or love, and that it is truly a matter of existence."
She also referenced the song 'Red Red' by Cortiz, saying, "The lyrics resonate with me: 'Red red, the signal has changed to green green, let's cross the fence green green.' I will do my best to boldly cross the fence as the times change and the signals shift."
