"I am an economic president who can win. I am not left or right but someone moving forward. I am someone who will keep his promises and immediately step down."

Han asked: "Must we keep dividing by left and right, east and west, men and women, older and younger?". Added, "Neither conservatives alone achieved industrialisation nor progressives democracy... The fruits must return to all citizens who've worked hard every day."

Han's boldest proposal: complete constitutional reform in 3 years then step down.

"I'll draft reforms in year 1, complete them in year 2, hold new elections under the new constitution in year 3, then immediately resign," he pledges, offering himself as a transitional leader.

Han outlined 3 key promises:

1) Constitutional reform

2) Resolving US tariff crisis using his trade expertise

3) National unity: "I am not pursuing a 'Han Duck-soo government' but rather 'your government'".
