I connected to the press conference of the President of Yoon Suk Yeol and delivered it. You've heard the president's answer to the controversy over First Lady Kim Gun-hee, the relationship between the government and the government, and various pending state affairs. Let's summarize the core contents. You are in Seo Jeong-wook's lawyer and Lee Seung-hoon's lawyer studio. Welcome. President Yoon Suk Yeol, first of all, before today's press conference, I bowed my head, saying I am sorry for causing concern to the people. Let's hear that first.

[Anchor]
Today's press conference lasted about 2 hours and 20 minutes. As you can see, it started with an apology from President Yoon Suk Yeol. I bowed my head and apologized, but what does it mean to start today's press conference with an apology?

[Jungwook Seo]
As a president, there may be unfair things in his own way and there are a lot of things he wants to say, but as a result, his approval rating has declined a lot recently. In this state, he first apologized to the public close to 90 degrees and began his discourse. I think I'm different from what I've looked like so far. Until now, if it was a one-sided communication, I sincerely apologize to the people first, sincerely, and then explain. an apology first and an explanation later This was a fairly desirable shape of change. This is how we evaluate it.

[Anchor]
Specifically, what I started for the future of the Republic of Korea has caused inconvenience to the people and concerns to the people with things around me. I expressed it like this. Can it be considered to include the controversy over Kim Gun-hee and the controversy over Myung Tae-kyun?

[Lee Seung Hoon]
I think it's included overall. I didn't specify any of Kim Gun-hee's actions.Ma seems to have apologized for the overall impropriety. When I watch this broadcast, it's hard for reporters to ask questions if the president gets angry again, or if he gives strength to his fists while speaking.

The president is taking seriously the plunge in his approval rating these days, seeing him go down in tone and proceed with manners without seeing such a figure. Especially in conservative areas, it has plunged more. In that respect, the sudden press conference itself seems to have felt serious. But I'll talk about the explanation later.I say that Ma's explanation doesn't seem to have been done properly.

[Anchor]
There were a lot of things that I was disappointed about today's contents, and you made a personal evaluation like this. President Yoon Suk Yeol's apology, representative Han Dong-hoon recently called the so-called five major demands. There were five major demands for Yongsan, and they were included.

Once again, he apologized to the public, reshuffled the cabinet, and appointed a special inspector. Representative Han Dong-hoon demanded the complete reorganization of the staff and the suspension of Kim Gun-hee's activities, but President Yoon Suk Yeol apologized to the public today. Can I say I've accepted one of those demands?

[Jungwook Seo]
I think I reflected almost everything. The apology was sincere and sincere. Then, the special inspector will be appointed if the National Assembly consistently recommends him. The president can't appoint it right away. I need to recommend something. I said I'd take it. Next, Kim Gun-hee's activities will not be conducted outside unless the people want it. Didn't you say that clearly? If the people don't want it, they won't do it. Three things were clearly accepted. After that, we need to think more about personnel reorganization or reorganization.

In particular, the reshuffle has a problem with the hearing and the opposition party, the prime minister and the cabinet reshuffle. I think it is necessary to reorganize the personnel next, but I didn't reject it because there is no such line, Kim Gun-hee, but there could be reorganization in terms of overhauling the state administration as a whole. I'll think about it over a regular period of time. That's why I think I've accepted almost everything.

[Anchor]
In the 1:1 meeting with CEO Han Dong-hoon, you didn't give me an answer to the questionnaire properly, but do you think today's press conference overall gave you an answer to the request?

[Lee Seung-hoon] It's a situation where you can't help but apologize to say that you answered the parts that don't need pain for each
{승}[Lee Seung-hoon]. And personnel reshuffling or reorganization of the presidential office's cabinet is a very important part, but I won't do it now. So I won't be pushed. But it's something like, "You can do it because it's been two and a half years." In the end, I'm not going to do it by public criticism, but I'm going to do it when I need it, so I think I'll do it soon.I don't want to see Ma being pushed.

The suspension of Kim Gun-hee's activities is also a matter of the ruling party and the president. I don't think it's that painful to stop because the people are uncomfortable. The most important part of what representative Han Dong-hoon said is the identification of suspicions and resolution of suspicions, but he did nothing particularly wrong with the alleged Myung Tae-kyun case, he never said anything about the nomination, and he never intervened. Because it came out like this, it is an explanation that contradicts the transcript of the president's development. So it seems that the controversy will still continue on this part.

[Anchor]
Let's look at the details one by one from now on. First of all, President Yoon Suk Yeol should not engage in external activities if the people do not want to ask questions about First Lady Kim Gun-hee. I answered to this effect. Let's listen to the content.

[Anchor]
We summarized the answers to various questions and played them. Regarding the external activities of First Lady Kim Gun-hee, it is right not to do external activities unless the people want it. I answered like this. What do you think that's for?

[Jungwook Seo]
Currently, there is so much negative public opinion about Mrs. Kim Gun-hee that it seems to mean that if the people don't want it, they will refrain from external activities. But I'm also a citizen. Of course, the people have a majority view and a minority view, but I personally think it is necessary to work as a minimum first lady in diplomacy.

[Anchor]
You think it's necessary to accompany the tour.

[Jungwook Seo]
Because it is an international practice to accompany a married couple in a foreign country, why should we fall for that just because Mrs. Kim Gun-hee committed a big crime? Especially, cultural diplomacy is important these days, and there is a role of the first lady. in the Korean Wave or culture of the country This is my personal opinion that the first lady should do the least amount of diplomatic work. Perhaps the most honest part of the president today is the issue of First Lady Kim Gun-hee. Look at it like this. In fact, Mrs. Kim Gun-hee would have helped a lot during the election. I think that's a given.

The election is held by a couple. Why do the people keep saying what about unelected power, but don't they all look at their spouses and vote together? That's why couples do business cards and campaign. First lady Kim Gun-hee's contribution to the election should not be constantly viewed negatively, but most of all, the first lady, like Yuk Young-soo, can criticize the president to do well.

Men may hate this for ripping it off, but how can you call it manipulation of state affairs? The first lady acts as an opposition party within the Blue House. This may be nagging in a way to do well as the president, but if it's called manipulation of state affairs, you need to change the Korean dictionary. I think this is an honest answer.

[Anchor]
I don't think there are any people who say that the role of assistance is wrong in common sense, but isn't there a difference in various interpretations depending on the scope and content of assistance? Please tell me what President Yoon Suk Yeol wanted to emphasize today and how the Democratic Party interprets this.

[Lee Seung Hoon]
First Lady Kim Gun-hee's activities are advice and not manipulation of state affairs. If this is a manipulation of state affairs, you said we should change the Korean dictionary. I tell you that the president said the wrong solution. Mrs. Yuk Young-soo said that President Park Chung-hee kept smoking until dawn when he was building the Gyeongbu Expressway or dispatched to Vietnam. Then, First Lady Yuk Young-soo gave her peace of mind by changing the ashtray, but the reason why First Lady Kim Gun-hee's actions are criticized as manipulation of state affairs is that she is not giving advice to the president, but rather gets angry with the president and goes beyond the president and instructs the administrators in the presidential office's own Kim Gun-hee line.

Since this is not advice but a matter of intervention in state affairs and a matter of manipulation of state affairs, he gave Kim Young-sun the nomination, saying it was a gift to Myung Tae-kyun after the election. And if you don't answer Myung Tae-kyun's phone call from the president, you won't be eligible for president. This is a very wrong statement. That's why this is the manipulation of state affairs and the people don't like the first lady's activities. However, I think it is very wrong to say that this was compared to President Park Chung-hee's wife, Yuk Young-soo.

[Anchor]
So, the opposition party is not saying this is not advice, but rather saying, "Didn't you order it with power beyond the intervention and the president?"

[Jungwook Seo]
To be honest, how does the opposition know about the relationship between President Yoon and First Lady Kim Gun-hee? The one who knows best is the President of Yoon Suk Yeol. If your wife's advice is manipulation of state affairs, is it an excessive intervention or a wife's advice to the president to do well? The president knows best. How does the opposition know? Have the opposition even entered the bedroom between the husband and wife? That doesn't make sense.

The opposition party is speculating and speculating. Who is in the first place in the order of Myung Tae-kyun? How do you trust Myung Taekyun's words? I believe the president. I'm not saying that this is a manipulation of state affairs, it's advice to do well, and sometimes it's bitter to fight. That's why I believe that the number one ranking is this and that. You can't talk without grounds like this.

[Anchor]
What kind of advice did First Lady Kim Gun-hee give before today's press conference? Reporters asked such questions, but they told her to apologize properly instead of bragging about the results of the state administration. What do you think of this advice?

[Lee Seung Hoon]
This is the advice.

[Anchor]
Isn't this manipulation of state affairs?

[Lee Seung Hoon]
This is not a manipulation of state affairs, and this is really advice, I thought so. Even if the president holds a press conference, he will not be able to give a detailed explanation about Myung Tae-kyun because it is related to the crime. However, if we talk about the results of the state administration for 20 or 30 minutes and then hold a press conference, the people are not interested in the results of the state administration.

How much the president apologizes and how much he apologizes for his wife's problems. Things about how to recover this part when the economy is in limbo right now. It's something like that as a whole. Mrs. Kim Gun-hee's remarks that an apology is important and not to talk about her last name went very well.

More importantly, I don't think the people have made any progress on President Yoon Suk Yeol's performance. Medical reform is wrong, labor reform is wrong. Pension reform is also going wrong. So I don't think it's an achievement, but if I say it's an achievement, it becomes a self-praise. So, the framework and posture of today's press conference were okay, and from the people's point of view, I think the anger would have eased a little.

[Anchor]
President Yoon Suk Yeol said a lot about Kim Gun-hee. As reporters' questions continue, there are aspects of my poor management in terms of the election process and that. I apologize for that. He expressed this, too.

[Jungwook Seo]
As I said earlier, I personally contacted Myung Tae-kyun and apologized for the election process.

[Anchor]
Can it be seen as acknowledging that we have shown you various inappropriate sides?

[Jungwook Seo]
Of course, the president apologized in a low-key manner, but I think it's a little different because I've been a preliminary candidate for the National Assembly. At that time, your role is really important. So, Mrs. Kim Gun-hee doesn't look at Myung Tae-kyun based on the current standard, but if you look at her then, she is the president of the poll and the president of the media. And if you help me, I can say thank you, and I cut it down a lot. There's nothing inappropriate this time as I've been keeping in touch. It's just that the primary is the principle, until this year's general election. Therefore, the president apologized, but I would like to defend him a little.

[Anchor]
President Yoon Suk Yeol has talked about his wife's role, which could be controversial depending on the interpretation. At the time of the election, his wife answered each text message from her supporters on her mobile phone. Didn't we talk about this? They answered hundreds or thousands of times a day. How did you hear that part?

[Lee Seung Hoon]
From the candidate's point of view, the president said earlier, "Are you crazy?" From the candidate's point of view, I think it can be good inwardly. Because my wife works hard for the election. But from the perspective of people who communicate, I communicated with the president, but your wife was listening to all of this.

Then, did the things that I asked the president to do and suggested and advised the president properly convey to the president? Rather, didn't you do it yourself after First Lady Kim Gun-hee was elected? In this respect, it was very inappropriate and I think it would have been better not to say it.

What wasn't very good about this part of today's press conference was that you said you hadn't talked to Myung Tae-kyun on the phone since the primary. However, as soon as I explained about that, I talked to him on the phone, so there was a controversy about lying, and I said this part was wrong because I said it properly, but the president's office said it seemed like I made a mistake. After all, the people want the president, elected power, communication, and leadership activities of elected power, not your wife's leadership activities.

[Jungwook Seo]
But that's not what I'm convinced of. For example, when we use our cell phones, we congratulate each other on winning the election and give words of blessing. They answered these questions. Thank you. Thank you. I also said thank you. Did Mrs. Kim Geon-hee send it? I thought about this, what's the problem with that? Thank you to the person who gives words of blessing, if you answer like this, wouldn't the recipient support President Yoon Suk Yeol more and do this?

[Anchor]
I thought there might be people who doubt that there would be anything else other than that.

[Jungwook Seo]
It would be something like encouragement after joining the people's power. It's not like manipulating state affairs. I think I can do that much.

[Anchor]
Anyway, regarding the management of Mrs. Kim Gun-hee's activities, the second deputy director will be issued today. Then, it is said that Mrs. Kim Gun-hee will stop her activities in the future, but external messages and such will be managed more thoroughly. What do you think about that?

[Lee Seung Hoon]
But I think the opposite is that the president will stop his outside activities. What if the people don't like it? I said this to this effect, but it means that we appointed an associate chief even before today's press conference. But the annex is to support the activities of the president's wife. Then, he said he would stop public activities, but he will release a thread to support the activities. Then, he said he'd actually stop working at the press conference.I'm thinking that Ma is still going to be active. So the timing of the appointment of the deputy chief was very wrong.

[Anchor]
Isn't that what both the ruling and opposition parties demanded?

[Lee Seung Hoon]
Of course it is. When the ruling and opposition parties demanded, they were told to do outside activities under control, but they are asking you to stop your activities altogether. If you appoint a deputy chief and staff members, these people should support Kim Gun-hee's activities right away, but only now do you create an organization that supports her activities by saying that she is not working? In that respect, I would like to say that these measures are continuing very late. [Anchor] I think it's about the timing that doesn't match today.

[Jungwook Seo]
I have to do it at today's time. It is right to reorganize the system today so that the affiliated office, inspector, and activities can be properly supplemented.

[Anchor]
I think the purpose of lawyer Lee Seung-hoon's story is to contradict the suspension of activities.

[Jungwook Seo]
The activities of the president earlier vary depending on whether the people like it or not. Isn't the Democratic Party suing right now? Kim Hye-kyung of the Democratic Party was in the position of a spouse when she was a candidate, and Rep. Lee Hae-sik was the head of the department. It was Kwon Hyang-yeop's failure. Does it make sense that your wife has a wife's team and a spouse's office, but the first lady doesn't have a second annex? Didn't the ruling and opposition parties demand it because they needed a public system to assist regardless of activities? That's why I did it today. You can't criticize this.

[Anchor]
In any case, there was also a question about Kim Gun-hee's independent counsel, and President Yoon Suk Yeol said in a strong tone that it was an idea contrary to the Constitution.

[Lee Seung Hoon]
But what's disappointing about that is that you worked as a special prosecutor in the Choi Soon-sil scandal. But why do you say it's against the Constitution when you've served as a special prosecutor until now? Since the president appoints the United States, it is against the Constitution to appoint Korea by the National Assembly? Then you're ignoring our constitution, common laws, and practices so far.

Why does the president show different views when it comes to matters of himself and his family? This seemed hypocritical from the people's point of view. However, he is still putting up a shield regarding the investigation and the special prosecutor's part, that is, the key to clarifying the suspicions. The defense seems to have taken that stance because the starting point of the impeachment that the opposition says and the impeachment that the people say could eventually be in the prosecution's investigation.

[Anchor]
Regarding the special prosecution, I have no intention of making concessions to the opposition party. You drew a line here, right?

[Jungwook Seo]
First of all, there's a luxury pouch bag. It's Fauci, and KBS president is Fauci president, which is ridiculous. But there is no punishment clause, and the investigation and deliberation committee have cleared him of charges, right? This is not an organization that creates crimes without special prosecutors. The next most absurd thing is Deutsche Motors. At this time, he took the command of the president of Yoon Suk Yeol and robbed prosecutor Lee Sung-yoon for two years.

Then I'll indict you then. You'll stay still then. Why are you doing the special prosecution now? Will the special prosecutor be different from then? This is also a problem, and there are 11 prosecutors at the Changwon District Prosecutors' Office right now. But what's the charge of the special prosecution already? This is a political maneuver that shakes the regime and seeks to step down or impeach it. Therefore, I don't think this makes sense to me right now.

[Anchor]
In any case, President Yoon Suk Yeol once again strongly opposed Kim Gun-hee's special prosecutor by using words such as human rights violations. President Yoon Suk Yeol responded today to the suspicion of intervening in the nomination of Myung Tae-kyun. Let's listen to it.

[Anchor]
This is the first time President Yoon Suk Yeol has expressed his position like this after the transcript wave, and he has never ordered a poll. And regarding the call with Myung Tae-kyun, he explained that he drew a line, but he just accepted the congratulatory message for his election.

[Jungwook Seo]
You have to take a good look at Kang Hye-kyung's testimony. Kang Hye-kyung's words also believe in opposition parties. It's the No. 1 public interest reporter. What did Kang Hye-kyung say? Kang Hye-kyung clearly said that her relationship with the president was broken after she was elected. What's important is that after winning the election, the trust was completely over with Myung Tae-kyun, so it was cut off. Even if it gets cut off, I think we can talk on the phone once or twice as a virtue. However, Kang Hye-kyung is testifying that the relationship has been broken.

The next most important thing is public opinion. As if the opposition party had been nominated by Myung Tae-kyun after conducting a 37,000-won poll. That's why it's a political fund bribe. I've never seen a novel like this before. Dozens of polls come out a day in the presidential election. All pollsters do everything, so what's the point of asking for a poll? Another important thing is that we need to know the exact public opinion to come up with measures. The president wants me to do a rigged poll? Does this make sense? The nomination of Kim Young-sun was legally done by Lee Joon-seok following the decision of the Public Official Commission, but should we investigate this as a novel that leads to political fund bribery? It's a ridiculous story. I think the president's answer is true.

[Anchor]
However, it was controversial as circumstantial evidence that First Lady Kim Gun-hee kept in touch with Myung Tae-kyun even after taking office continued to be disclosed. He explained that he hasn't contacted me a few times today. How do you see this part?

[Lee Seung Hoon]
By the way, the president's explanation is also as if the president's office did something wrong, and he said he has not contacted much, so is it okay for Myung Tae-kyun to contact Kim Gun-hee and intervene in the nomination and local elections? Isn't this the same thing? If the president does not manage his wife well, for example, Gangwon Governor Kim Jin-tae or Gyeongnam Governor Park Wan-soo, there was an inappropriate intervention in the nomination of Gyeongsangnam-do Governor, this could also be a crime.

So if you don't investigate, how will you know what's wrong? It means that Myung Tae-kyun received hundreds of millions of won from prospective candidates for the People's Power, continued to poll with it, and continued to report the US public opinion poll to the president. Then, the president only received a report without giving any money and was not interested in the money going into it. Seeing that the president gave Kim Young-sun the nomination as a gift, the president also got help. It's not that public opinion has been manipulated or that they haven't been reported on the polls at all, but it doesn't seem like the current situation will be so easy to say that they are not guilty because they only received benefits.

[Anchor]
President Yoon Suk Yeol drew the line that there was no conversation about the nomination today, but Kim Young-sun asked him to do it in the transcript released earlier, so many people have suspicions about the nomination intervention. Do you think that's a sufficient explanation?

[Jungwook Seo]
That's right. Because the phone call is on May 9th. That's right. I mean, on the eve of the inauguration of the president, how busy would you have been with Myung Tae-kyun when so many envoys came and entertained you? Since Myung Tae-kyun keeps talking, I was going to give him a good word, but he usually does that when you ask for complaints. I tried, but the party talks a lot. Like this. There's also a suspicion that this was edited out by the devil. Myung Tae-kyun claims that the party has failed to mention that the nomination has been completed.

If you look at the president's answer today, he didn't even know who the mission chairman was. He said he thought Chung Jin-seok was the chairman of the mission, not Yoon Sang-hyun. By the way, why are you calling Yoon Sang-hyun? This is ridiculous. Kim Young-sun was ranked first in the poll at that time. Attorney Lee Seung-hoon kept talking about lawmaker Kim Jin-tae and lawmaker Park Wan-soo, but I think he won the grand prize then. It was all about the election. Mayor Oh Se-hoon, Mayor of Hong Joon Pyo, Representative Kim Jin-pyo, and Representative Park Wan-soo became all possible people. If you say you created heaven and earth, did you do it? You can't play with this kind of word from Myung Tae-kyun.

[Anchor]
After the transcript came out, the ruling party leadership and floor leader Choo Kyung-ho explained that it was not legally a problem because they were elected, but today's explanation was a little different from the legal basis of the explanation. How did you hear it?

[Lee Seung Hoon]
I intervened in the nomination before that, but it is not legally illegal, as May 9th is the day before the election.

[Anchor]
Didn't you conclude that you intervened in the nomination?

[Lee Seung Hoon]
But if you look at it now, you're saying that there's no intervention in the nomination. But if you listen to the transcript, you say that I talked about Kim Young-sun and she talks a lot, and Myung Tae-kyun said, "Thank you, I won't forget your kindness," and the next day, she was nominated. Who would refuse what the president asked for a day before his term in office? I think it was the most influential day.

If you didn't do anything wrong regarding Kim Young-sun's nomination and didn't do anything wrong regarding the Deutsche Motors allegation, shouldn't the president's office insist on an independent counsel? It is a great opportunity to conduct an independent counsel and attack the opposition party, but in the end, to reject it is the criminal who refuses the independent counsel, as the president said before, and I think he is avoiding it because he did something wrong.

[Anchor]
Regarding the controversy over Myung Tae-kyun, President Yoon Suk Yeol explained today that there was no time to care about such a nomination at that time. There was no official response from the Democratic Party, so we will tell you how the Democratic Party refutes it as soon as it comes in. Today, reporters asked about the relationship between the government and the government, especially with representative Han Dong-hoon, who has recently been known to be uncomfortable. How did you answer that question? Let's listen to it.

Everything has a grudge when it comes to politics. Are you saying you have a grudge with CEO Han Dong-hoon? How should I interpret this?

[Jungwook Seo]
That's right. This is the answer that touches me the most today. These days, the broadcasting panels that I used to be close to as a conservative panelist have been halved. Close, close, close. I have a deep resentment. Then how should I solve it? We need to meet, drink and talk, but the most important thing is that CEO Han Dong-hoon will be a candidate or someone else. At that time, the goal was the same. At that time, we have to recreate the government, and then it becomes another one.

I mean, we meet again one day for the common goal, for the common good, like this. Then it's going to unravel. So, rather than the president meeting artificially today, car paralysis, eating, and meeting alone, Chairman Han Dong-hoon is working hard on the party's work. Then, if you work hard as a president, you have to succeed jointly in the administration so that representative Han Dong-hoon has hope. In this way, let's do our best for a common goal. Then the deposit will be released by itself. You have to solve it like this.

[Anchor]
Didn't CEO Han Dong-hoon say the same? I'm working towards the same goal.

[Jungwook Seo]
Right. I mean, there's hope between you. Because there's a lump everywhere. I also have a really bad feeling between the panels. But if we work hard, it gets solved. This is the answer that touches my heart the most today.

[Anchor]
However, in the process of answering, I didn't even mention the name Han Dong-hoon. How should I interpret this?

[Lee Seung Hoon]
So, I don't want to solve the problem by specifying CEO Han Dong-hoon, but I think I've left the thought that I'm going to solve this problem. So, I have a grudge with CEO Han Dong-hoon. However, my resentment is not a personal feeling, but a very public affair. I think there are two things for the common task. The big thing is the creation of power.

I think the second is the rejection of the special prosecutor. However, CEO Han Dong-hoon recently asked for a justification to reject the special prosecution. Didn't you ask for a special inspector, an apology, and a human renewal to receive that justification? However, since he has accepted it to some extent, there is room for a relationship to be improved together in terms of Representative Han Dong-hoon and President Yoon Suk Yeol's rejection of the special prosecution. There is a good chance of getting on the same boat.

But for now, we can avoid some kind of crisis with this apology.Ma said, "Today's overall stance was very inadequate in terms of resolving suspicions in general. Therefore, since the opposition party will continue to insist on the special prosecution in the future, the conflict with representative Han Dong-hoon in this regard seems more likely to continue for the time being.

[Anchor]
The parliamentary inspection was over, and I said I would make another seat after my trip. Then, we can meet alone at the end of this month, is there room for this?

[Jungwook Seo]
If I meet alone or with floor leader Choo Kyung-ho and meet in various forms, I gradually lose conflict like snow melting. It's definitely possible. As far as I know, the president also told you earlier. If the media originally reports on the conflict, the media can slightly inflate it sensationally.

[Anchor]
Did the media inflate it?

[Jungwook Seo]
It can't be said that it was completely encouraged, but when you express it, you don't blame the media, but you get a little exaggeration. I think there's less conflict than we think. Aren't you a 20-year-old comrade? In particular, as far as I know, Mrs. Kim Gun-hee's heart is not very bad for representative Han Dong-hoon, Mrs. Kim Gun-hee's heart is not bad. I've checked through several channels.

[Anchor]
You said something different from what's known now.

[Jungwook Seo]
Rather, First Lady Kim Gun-hee said, "I personally think I have a better political sense than President Yoon. I heard that President Yoon has gone too far to the right, so we need to go to the middle of integration. I've heard this kind of story indirectly. That's how much you have to get along with CEO Han Dong-hoon. First lady Kim Gun-hee will say this bitter thing that the party and the government should become one. I look very hopeful.

[Anchor]
Is that advice? Is it manipulation of state affairs?

[Jungwook Seo]
That's a piece of advice.

[Anchor]
Anyway, between President Yoon Suk Yeol and Representative Han Dong-hoon, the media is paying great attention these days, and didn't the floor leader Choo Kyung-ho call the date of the press conference separately? So many people might suspect that the party-government relationship is not about representative Han Dong-hoon, but that he will continue to do well with floor leader Choo Kyung-ho.

[Lee Seung Hoon]
I'm sure you can think of that. I think President Yoon Suk Yeol seems to be Gap, but in fact, I think floor leader Choo Kyung-ho may be Gap. If that's the case, Kim Gun-hee's special prosecutor will pass if floor leader Choo Kyung-ho turns his back. And CEO Han Dong-hoon is speaking strongly now, but he can't get the special prosecutor's card. What that is is, there must be a fear of being trapped in a traitorous frame like former congressman Yoo Seung Min. That's why I believe that Rep. Choo Kyung-ho will keep representative Han Dong-hoon in check by catching him.

You said that not too long ago. Representative Han Dong-hoon proposed to apologize, but he talks as if he did it at the request of floor leader Choo Kyung-ho, not at the request of representative Han Dong-hoon. But I think this could actually be false, too. I don't think I can rule out the possibility that First Lady Kim Gun-hee said, "Now is the time to apologize, apologize before going abroad," and discussed with Floor Leader Choo Kyung-ho about how to deal with the situation.

[Anchor]
We can't conclude the discussion process, but representative Han Dong-hoon will present an evaluation of the Yoon Suk Yeol presidential press conference today as the ruling party representative. How many points do you think you'll give?

First of all, I think CEO Han Dong-hoon's side was established. I also talked about the special inspector like a stamp.Ma said he would do it by agreement between the ruling and opposition parties, so he didn't completely reject it, but he bowed his head when it came to an apology. And regarding the personnel appointment of the presidential office, I think there was a message saying, "I'm not doing it because of CEO Han Dong-hoon right now, but as a result, I'll do it soon." So, from the perspective of representative Han Dong-hoon, it is expected that he will make a conciliatory gesture with the president's office for the time being.

I also think I'll give 80 points from CEO Han Dong-hoon's point of view. You accepted almost everything. I think I'll give you 80 points. Just a moment ago, lawyer Lee said that floor leader Choo Kyung-ho is the best, this is wrong. We have to look at the dynamics, but this is the floor leader. If you approve of the special prosecution, you will be kicked out by pro-Yoon lawmakers. Do you follow Rep. Chin-yoon just because you agree? You have to say that the president's trust is strong, so it's not Gap.

I don't think you expressed it as "gap" because it's really "gap," but the context can be misunderstood anyway. I'll hear that you organized it like this. One of the key challenges for President Yoon Suk Yeol is his relationship with the opposition. I also answered this way regarding the part that I did not attend the National Assembly's speech. Let's listen to it.

I was going to go, but opposition lawmakers are talking about impeachment around the time of the speech to the administration to revive politics. I refuted it like this. How did you like it?

[Lee Seung Hoon]
The president said that. If you throw a stone, you'll get hit. If I throw a stone, I have to go to the National Assembly and say everything I have to say, and whether the opposition party opposes or curses, I have to listen to it and go through it. But in the end, I avoided it. The National Assembly is not just an opposition party, but an axis of power in our separation of powers. In terms of power representing the people, the president should have apologized and expressed his opinion if he did something wrong, regardless of whether he was disgraced or not, but there was a lot of criticism that he avoided it at this critical time again. In that respect, the president should communicate more actively. The same goes for the National Assembly, I say.

[Jungwook Seo]
This is the only thing that's disappointing about today's conversation. I want to say something bitter. You're right, Mr. President. You're right, but you have to go regardless. This is a place to report to the public. Then, if the Democratic Party of Korea gives all kinds of insults to the president, the people judge the Democratic Party. Therefore, I am sorry to the people that I couldn't go to the president's model answer, even if this happened. Rather, it would have been better if it had been like this, this is my bitter voice.

President Yoon Suk Yeol has explained various controversies today, but the evaluation and views seem to be contradictory. Anyway, for 2 hours and 20 minutes, have you seen that President Yoon Suk Yeol has tried to communicate on various political issues? What do you think?

[Lee Seung Hoon]
Actually, I didn't expect it at all. However, I would like to give a score in that I apologized first rather than the results of the state administration. Of course, I don't know if that was the president's own opinion or Kim Gun-hee's advice.Ma and I think this is just the beginning. I have to take ten steps now, but I'm about one step away. Now, it is time to explain the suspicions that the people have. So when the president has the courage to throw a stone, he should be really determined to get hit. If it is for the purpose of avoiding any suspicions, this press conference will be meaningless.

As Gallup's approval rating for state affairs fell below 20%, there was also a question like this today. Wouldn't one of the reasons for President Yoon Suk Yeol's low approval rating be a lack of communication? I think many people point out that such communication opportunities have been too scarce so far.

[Jungwook Seo]
That's right. Today's conversation and press conference will be a turning point. If we communicate in this manner and go back to the beginning, our approval rating may rebound. The president of our country always had a good approval rating at first and then it didn't end well. However, President Yoon Suk Yeol could be the first president to have a weak start, but he can succeed in the end. I recommend that you have this confidence and rather work hard with your initial intention in a lower position in the future to meet the halfway point of your term.

I bowed my head to the people of Yoon Suk Yeol today. We'll see what changes there will be after the apology. It was Seo Jeong-wook and Lee Seung-hoon. Thank you.
