President Yoon Suk Yeol's press conference on the 7th is expected to be held in the form of a so-called "end-of-the-minute conference" that does not set a theme or time limit.
The president's office hopes that it will resolve political controversies and gain momentum for state affairs in the second half of his administration, although it will not avoid demanding current issues.

President Yoon Suk Yeol will not limit the number or time of questions at the press conference, which will take place three days before the halfway point of his term.
Unlike the previous three press conferences, we decided not to divide the political, economic, and social sectors, and not to limit various controversies surrounding First Lady Kim Gun-hee to suspicions related to Myung Tae-kyun.
The president's office's plan is to not avoid answering questions and to allow them to ask questions until the end.
A senior presidential official told YTN in a phone call that he expected President Yoon to show his sincerity and change at the conference.It is interpreted as an intention to focus on telling the story that the people want to hear, rather than the part that President
Yoon wants to promote.
The conference was reportedly earlier than originally planned on the advice of Yongsan staff and floor leader Choo Kyung-ho of People's Power.
As the conference, which was scheduled to be held at the end of this month after completing the overseas trip, has been rushed for more than two weeks, discussions on the contents of the public statement are expected to take place in depth for the rest of the year.
The key points will be the level of public apology for the Kim controversy and the position on personnel reform, but it is unlikely that Kim will appear at the conference hall.
While analysts say the conference will be the biggest watershed that will determine state administration in the second half of his administration, President Yoon attended the National Saemaul Leaders' Congress and reiterated his will not give up on the "four reforms."

{President Yoon also said that the Saemaul spirit should be rekindled to make the crisis a springboard for a great leap forward.It is pointed out that if President
Yoon wants to restore the driving force for reform through this conference, he should show a different communication by listening to the staff's advice before the conference.
