I hope to see the kind of political culture that solves problems through dialogue and compromise, not through confrontation and conflict. - Roh Moo-hyun

No dogmatic thinking will be able to prevent social changes any more. No dictatorship will emerge again to trample civil rights and repress freedom. Illegal acts committed by the government agencies and the collusion of the Government and business and that of the government and the press will all become matters of the past.

During his tenure, President Roh contributed to the strong and vital relationship between the United States and the Republic of Korea.

I painted a kind and sympathetic man. I painted a man who respected the fundamental rights of all citizens and today I pray that his vision for human rights for Korea will extend North across the border. I painted a strong leader who was not afraid to speak his mind, even to the president of the United States.
