I plan to give KRW 25 mn when they enter elementary school, KRW 25 mn in middle school and KRW 50 mn in high school. Wouldn't it help them to get KRW 100 mn in total?

Kim Moon-soo also continued his attack on Democratic Party presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung.

He condemned Lee for pressuring the judiciary branch to clear his legal troubles and trying to control the legislative branch to protect himself.

Candidate Kim's wife, Seol Nan-young, met with the mother of a victim killed by her former boyfriend last year in Hwaseong and listened to the mother's opinion on improving policies around victim protection.
