President Yoon Seok-yeol, who was on vacation with a 20% approval rating, said to the media, “Please help me a lot.” The remarks seemed to be conscious of the negative public opinion and low approval ratings surrounding state affairs, but the limitation that it was only a one-way announcement was repeated.
President Yoon met reporters on the way to the presidential office in Yongsan, Seoul on the 8th and talked regarding his feelings following the vacation. As a high-ranking official in the presidential office predicted the day before that when President Yoon returned, he would “declare his will to uphold the will of the people with a lower attitude and reflect it in state affairs.”
In front of reporters, President Yoon first said, “I started politics regarding a year ago and I had a break like this for the first time. It was a time to look back on the past election process, the transition committee, and the process following inauguration, and looking back, I first want to express my gratitude to the people who called me, sometimes harsh criticism, and sometimes warm support and encouragement to come to this place. “After all, during my vacation, I reinforced the idea that what I have to do for the people is to pay close attention to the people’s will, always keep the original intention, and well serve the people’s will,” he said.
To the question of ‘human renewal’, he said, “Isn’t all the power of government coming from the people?” He said, “I will re-examine all issues from the people’s point of view and take a closer look. Such problems will start working right away, so I will go up and look at them and take necessary measures if necessary, and I will do it like this.”
In addition, President Yoon said, “Democracy politics and state management are things that cannot be done without working with the media.”
Afterwards, President Yoon, who was regarding to leave, turned around and answered the reporter’s question once more. In response to a question related to the visit, Minister of Foreign Affairs Park Jin said, “The government departments are thoroughly and meticulously scrutinizing from the point of view of the national interest. Even if you don’t worry too much, we will closely monitor and discuss with relevant ministries to protect our national interest. Don’t worry,” he replied.
However, he left without answering the question regarding the so-called ‘internal gunshot texting’ controversy. On the 26th of last month, through the mobile phone screen of Kwon Seong-dong, floor leader of the People’s Power, which was filmed in the press at the National Assembly plenary hall on the 26th of last month, the fact that President Yoon told floor leader Kwon “The Uri Party is also doing well” “It has changed since the party leader who used to shoot internally changed.” has been known
