What do we need? A vision to overcome the crisis of the Republic of Korea and prepare for a hopeful future. This is the era of the divine unified Korea. In order to understand the concept of the divine unified Korea, we must first gain new insight into the overall relationship between gods and humans, humans and nature, and humans and humans. Why is a god-centered mindset, not a human-centered one, necessary when discussing a unified Korea? Because coexistence, coexistence, and justice are impossible in a world centered on the 'human god' (人間神). The human god refers to the vain desire of humans to become gods. These days, with the groundbreaking development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, there are even talks that 'machines will play the role of gods in the future', but whether it is a human god or a 'machine god', there are clear limitations. In the end, it will be a power struggle over who will have more power, a competition for hegemony, and it will lead to the destruction of all of humanity. Only the mindset of the 'god-human' (神人間), who prioritizes gods over humans, can prevent this catastrophe.
Based on this vision of a new unified Korea, we would like to present a plan for Korea to overcome the national crisis and move forward into the future by turning the current constitutional crisis into an opportunity. Above all, a two-wing unification movement that can embrace both left and right ideologies is necessary. In the current impeachment situation, it is impossible to resolve the vacuum in state affairs if both the ruling and opposition parties only pursue their own interests. The philosophy of two-wing is urgently needed as a new value system to put into practice the goal of “Together with the People,” which combines the “people” of the ruling People Power Party and the “together” of the opposition Democratic Party of Korea. This value of “coexistence” must start from the home. The meaning of “Gahwamansaeseong” (家和萬事成), which states that everything goes well when the family is harmonious, cannot be overemphasized. Peace that coexists with others must spread beyond the Korean Peninsula to the world. We know all too well the history of 22 countries participating in the Korean War to protect Korea’s democracy. This shows that the Korean people have been chosen by heaven and that we have a duty to repay the international community. Hosting the UN Fifth Secretariat to the Korean Peninsula will be a great historical event for the Korean people for world peace.
