During TV debates on Monday and early Wednesday morning, Yang, former vice chief of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, the second-largest umbrella labor group in the nation, said the party failed to bring fundamental changes to the lives of ordinary people with "the same old messages."
"It is important how we identify ourselves as a party," he said during Monday's debate. "I use the term of democratic socialism to clearly show voters what we try to achieve as a society and how to solve its problems [...]
"Who fears socialism?" Yang said. "Why would we fear a new idea of changing a society where injustices and inequalities are rampant? I will say loud and clear which direction our party should take. The Justice Party under my leadership will pursue socialism."
