What is the position of the President's Office on this press conference?

[Reporter]
The presidential office announced last night that President Yoon Suk Yeol will make a public statement at 10 a.m. on the 7th, explain the direction of state administration at a press conference, and answer various suspicions.

The president's office said that President Yoon's press conference will be an important choice whether to save the opportunity or start another crisis.

A senior presidential official said in a phone call with YTN today that he expects President Yoon to show his sincerity and change.

He explained that the details and format of President Yoon's remarks, including whether to apologize to the public, will be decided after staff discussions between today and tomorrow.

The presidential office's observation is that President Yoon will show a different and changed appearance, at least not before.

In the past two press conferences, President Yoon held a 30-minute briefing in the office on the second floor and received questions and answers at the briefing room on the first floor, but there is a possibility that the format will change this time.

Another high-ranking official said that President Yoon seems to have decided that it would be better to do it before the trip, and that he informed him after making a decision last night.

Then, he explained that the staff suggested that the press conference be advanced yesterday afternoon, and that President Yoon made the decision after seeing various situations.

However, Han Dong-hoon, the representative of People's Power, seems to be drawing a line yesterday, saying it has nothing to do with President Yoon's public apology and calls for reform, such as a complete reorganization of the staff.

So, what is expected to be specifically included in the press conference?

[Reporter]
President Yoon's press conference is about two and a half months after the end of August, and it is expected that this will be the first time that President Yoon will express his position directly on various suspicions related to Myung Tae-kyun.

The investigation was closed after the prosecution did not indict Kim Gun-hee on various allegations such as the receipt of luxury bags and the involvement of Deutsche Motors stock price manipulation, but attention is also being paid to what position President Yoon will take on the opposition's claim of a special prosecutor.

However, it remains to be seen whether further progress will be included, as Han has already expressed his position to refrain from taking public action against Kim at the last meeting.

In this process, the press conference is expected to have a significant impact on the driving force of state affairs in the second half of his term, depending on whether President Yoon will apologize in person.
