◀ Again ▶

President Yoon Seok-yeol will hold a press conference tomorrow morning to mark the second anniversary of his inauguration.

First, we will explain the status of policy implementation through a message to the public, and then we will answer questions from journalists for about an hour.

The Office of the President said there are no restrictions on question topics.

This was reported by journalist Gu Seung-eun.

The Office of the President has decided that the official title of tomorrow’s press conference will be “Public Report and Press Conference on the Second Year of the Yoon Seok-yeol Administration.”

President Yoon initially spends about 20 minutes in his office explaining the political achievements and plans of the state administration.

We will then move to the conference room, 5 minutes away, and answer journalists’ questions.

There is no limit on topics, but time is limited to one hour.

«Tomorrow, won’t journalists representing the people ask questions on an unlimited number of topics? Doesn’t this attitude of acceptance already have the answer?”

The biggest interest is what kind of response will be given to the suspicions related to the “Special Prosecutor Chae Sang-byeong Law” and First Lady Kim Kun-hee.

Yesterday, President Yoon clenched his fists as he rejected the opposition party’s claims.

″If there is a judicial risk, it is a problem that I have to face‥″

This is interpreted to mean that the various suspicions will be explained in detail and addressed head-on.

Ultimately, he is expected to declare that it is inevitable to exercise his veto on the law on Special Prosecutor Chae Sang-byeong and reveal his basic position regarding First Lady Kim Kun-hee’s suspicions, saying: “I will cooperate with the prosecutor’s investigation , but I will respect the law and principles”.

It seems that what will determine the success or failure of a press conference will be apologies and sincere reflections.

The opposition party stressed that President Yoon should reform the one-way state administration style and promise to follow the public sentiment confirmed in the general election.

″I hope that an effective government reform plan will be prepared. In this general election, the people ordered us to save the people’s livelihood and change the direction of the government administration.”

The ruling People Power Party expressed hope that “it would be an opportunity for the people and the president to come closer”, while some stressed that there should be a humble reflection on the political mistakes of the past two years.
