"DJ+YS=JM?!" Park Jie-won: "If You Combine the Strengths of Kim Dae-jung and Kim Young-sam, You Get Lee Jae Myung"

[Financial News] Park Jie-won, a lawmaker from the Democratic Party of Korea (DPK), remarked that Lee Jae Myung, the current president, embodies the combined strengths of former presidents Kim Dae-jung and Kim Young-sam.
On the 7th, Park wrote on his social media, "DJ+YS=JM?!" and stated, "When I think of President Lee Jae Myung, who marks six months in office, I sometimes wonder if he is the result of merging the strengths of Presidents Kim Dae-jung and Kim Young-sam."
Park highlighted that President Lee possesses "the critical thinking of a scholar, the practical sense of a merchant, logical skills and eloquence that allow him to see far like a telescope and closely like a microscope. He jokes that as long as he is healthy, he can borrow others’ brains, and that he has read fewer books in his life than Kim Dae-jung has written." Park emphasized, "However, his political instincts are unmatched, and he has the agility and boldness to address pressing issues head-on."
He continued, "When a decision must be reversed or changed, he makes a 180-degree turn on the spot. As a result, the media cannot drag the same issue for more than three days," citing examples from the tenures of Kim Dae-jung and Kim Young-sam.
Having previously served as chief of staff to former President Kim Dae-jung, Park added, "If President Kim Dae-jung wanted to make a 180-degree change, he would explain it to the public one degree at a time each day, ultimately facing criticism from the media 180 times. When I suggested to Kim Young-sam that we make a 180-degree turn in a single day, President Kim Dae-jung would insist on persuading the public." Park concluded, "If the strengths of both presidents were combined into one, I believe that person would be President Lee Jae Myung. What do you think?"
