President Moon Jae-in says the country now has to move towards a bigger and more diverse democracy.
He made the remark in a televised speech on Wednesday to commemorate the 33rd anniversary of the June 10 Democratic Protest which led to a constitutional revision to empower the people to elect the country's president on their own.
President Moon said that South Korea's democracy features "sharing and co-prosperity" as well as "solidarity and cooperation," adding that the democracy the country created made the nation a model for quarantine against COVID-19.
The event was held at the Democracy and Human Rights Memorial Hall in Yongsan where many pro-democracy activists were accused of having ties with North Korea and brought under brutal police interrogations in the 1970s and 1980s.
