Conservative newspaper editorials and columns also raise concerns about the president. In particular, representative conservative columnists such as Kim Dae-jung of the Chosun Ilbo, Ahn Hye-ri of the JoongAng Ilbo, and Kim Soon-deok of the Dong-a Ilbo are all expressing concerns about President Yoon’s move with one voice.

The title of the July 5th Chosun Ilbo’s ‘Kim Dae-jung Column’ is “Can the Yun Seok-yeol regime succeed?” This column said, “President Yoon is a novice politician. He has no experience dealing with economics. He has no contacts other than the prosecution. In a word, he said, ‘I am not a prepared president.’ “This goes beyond a simple ideological confrontation between the left and the right or a political game between the ruling and opposition parties, and is in contact with the proposition of the people’s well-being and the nation’s existence.”wrote

Columnist Kim Dae-jung said, “The so-called honeymoon of the new president, which is granted to the new president, is already over. Now, in front of him, only dizzying ‘opposition’ will pile up.” “His protective shield is from the conservative and right-wing groups, but if even they are swayed by economic difficulties and bankruptcy, his allies can be greatly reduced.”wrote

“President Yoon no longer has time to enjoy the president or to be drunk there. Now, I wish they would stop decorating the news with gossip and photo streets.” He wrote, “If we do our best to enjoy ‘President’ from now on without getting too distracted, the Korean political upgrade we had hoped for from him will be stranded again.” .

If columnist Kim Dae-jung’s column advised President Yoon to focus on ‘people’s livelihood’, fearing that the conservative right would turn their heads in the midst of an economic crisis, then the column of the JoongAng Ilbo’s Ahn Hye-ri or Dong-a Ilbo’s Kim Soon-deok’s waiting column was ‘First Lady’ risk was touched.

On July 7th, in the column of editorial member Ahn Hye-ri of the JoongAng Ilbo, it was pointed out that information related to Ms. Kun-hee Kim’s fashion comes from her older brother, and said, “Beyond the leak of petty fashion information of the president’s family, during the last trip to Spain, she and Kim were usually close friends. A thick civilian, Mr. Shin, accompanied him, and when he returned, he even returned to Korea with a private jet for the president.” He added, “The reason the Democratic Party abdicated the government after 5 years is because they openly looked down on the people. (…) Right now. I remember,” he wrote.

He continued, “Inappropriate family intervention is also a problem, but such shallow media play will only bring headwinds.” It is pointed out that the president’s response to various controversies is shallow.

Dong-A Ilbo Kim Soon-deok column “worst case, they could try to impeach the president”

On the same day, Dong-A Ilbo Kim Soon-deok’s column titled “The ‘Keonhee Love’ Problem of the President Without Crisis Awareness”. In this column, Kim Soon-deok, a waiter, said, “It seems that you have heard the screams of the people, but the president who is a former prosecutor who is accustomed to wearing top and bottom clothes will not know. Contrary to President Yoon’s position, he pointed out that it is difficult to generate state power under President Dead Cross.”

This column said, “What is fatal for President Yoon is the fact that the second response, ‘I do not look at the economy and people’s livelihood’, which has not been seen by any president, was selected second. The previous week, 7% of ‘job attitudes’ such as President Yoon going to buy bread with his wife were pointed out. needs to be taken seriously,” he pointed out. In particular, similar to the JoongAng Ilbo’s Ahn Hye-ri column, the problem was the response that President Yoon said, “It’s the first time I’ve done it as a president” to the criticism when accompanying civilians to Bongham Village.

Next, Kim Soon-deok, a waiter, wrote, “I hope that President Yoon will increase his approval rating by showing a presidential appearance rather than a member of the ‘Keonhee Love’ fan club. .

Kim Soon-deok, a waiter on the waiting list, said, “The National Assembly Speaker Kim Jin-pyo may amend the constitution against the will of the people during his term, the power of the people may be defeated in the general election, and in the worst case, he may try to impeach the president. To avoid this, President Yoon must have a sense of crisis and work to restore approval ratings,” he said.
