President Lee Jae Myung pledged Tuesday to build a society free of injustice and unfairness in a message to the public on Lunar New Year in his second year in office.
Lee made the remark in a post on social media platform X, expressing hope that "all citizens fulfill their wishes in the new year."
"My wish is to create a world where no one inherits a dark and troubled world, where no one suffers from injustice and unfairness, and where no one can unjustly take away what belongs to others," he said.
Lee stressed that he did not seek to become the president for the sake of power but to use his presidential authority to carry out meaningful work.
He vowed efforts to address problems in the real estate market, build a safe and peaceful nation, and create a fair and rational society.
Lee took office in June last year following months of political turmoil triggered by former President Yoon Suk Yeol's failed martial law bid in December 2024 and subsequent impeachment.
