President Moon Jae-in said in his New Year’s address on the 11th, “2021 will be a’year of recovery’,’year of inclusion’, and’year of leap’ for our people.” In particular, weight was put on’inclusive recovery’. Considering the socio-economic polarization caused by the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19), it is meant to take care of the victims of’more’ and’more’. He stressed that “the more crisis is, the more we have to hold each other’s hands and go together.”
The President’s New Year’s address intensively contains the direction of national administration. Instead of filling the New Year’s address with the ambition of’overcoming the Corona 19 crisis and moving toward a leading economy’, President Moon minimized mentions of sensitive issues such as the pardons of former Presidents Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye. It did not present any new national affairs. It is interpreted that President Moon, entering the second half of his power, focused on “finishing a stable regime”.

“The goal is clear”… Corona economy “fast and strong recovery”
President Moon said, “Our goal in 2021 is clear,” he said. “It is a recovery and a leap forward. I want to add inclusion to it.” The target of’recovery’ is the disease called Corona 19 and the resulting economic crisis. Among the three keywords of recovery, engagement, and leap, recovery was the most frequently used 16 times.
President Moon said, “It is urgent to quickly return to the normal routine of being freed from the mask,” and showed confidence that “Now I can finally see the end of the dark tunnel.” President Moon emphasized, “We will be able to get the vaccine next month. We will make sure that all citizens can get the corona vaccine free of charge, in order of priority.” This is the first time the government has announced a policy of’free vaccination for the nation’.
It also promised a “fast and strong recovery” for the economy. Based on indicators such as’the record high in exports in December of last year’, he evaluated’Korea has not stopped’ and pointed to the’first half of this year’ as the point of economic recovery. He then emphasized, “We will leap forward as a leading country in a new era with a rapid and strong economic recovery.”
For this, he said, “We will quickly execute the expanded budget.” He then presented a concrete vision with remarks such as “I will push forward a 110 trillion won worth of public and private investment projects with a sense of speed” and “I will focus on the job budget of 30.5 trillion won, which is 5 trillion won higher than last year”.
“We have to get out of the crisis together”… A text emphasizing’inclusive recovery’
President Moon said, “It is of paramount importance to achieve an inclusive recovery to close the gap deepened by the corona.” President Moon said at the new year’s first cabinet meeting on the 5th that “the weight of the pain caused by the corona is never equal.”
President Moon confirmed that he will put the weight of the policy on healing those who have suffered more, saying, “It is easier to get back to everyday life only when we get out of the crisis together.” In addition, he stressed, “I will repay you with’overcoming the crisis by narrowing the gap’ so that the efforts of the people who have put up with the inconvenience and considered neighbors first are not wasted.

Concrete instead of new business… Avoiding political issues
Words were spared on political issues. As if conscious that the’integration’ mentioned in the New Year’s Association of various fields on the 7th led to the interpretation of’Isn’t the former president’s pardon in mind’, he said’inclusion’ instead of’integration’. Regarding the reform of the power institutions, he said, “I will settle the reformed system.” It did not contain any content that could stimulate the power of the people. It is interpreted to mean that we will not waste the last power of state administration through debate and conflict.
In the same context, instead of presenting a new business, including the remarks that “we will put the focus of the Korean version of the New Deal on the’Regional Balanced New Deal,'” it is in the same context.
