◇Anchor> reporter asked once more. When asked again how he was specifically wrong and apologizing, President Yoon Suk Yeol said he apologized using the expression "wrong behavior of his wife" and "I don't think her advice is manipulation of state affairs," and he said it is right to stop her activities if the people want. What do you think about these three?

◆Kim Jin-wook> That part is actually lacking a lot, too. When the president asked a reporter later about the apology, he said, "I will apologize for the misunderstanding, but I can't apologize for the misunderstanding and demonize my wife." He also said that he doubted the sincerity of the overall apology, and that the public should stop all activities related to Kim Gun-hee's restraint. I've done that so far. And he said that he will continue to take that stance, but if it is deemed necessary for diplomatic practice or national interest, he will do that part. If so, you clarify your willingness to accompany you on your overseas trip this time, and who makes that judgment? This is not what the people do, but now that I'm making the second annex, I'll judge it well in the second annex, and we'll judge it well. Were these the things that the people wanted to hear? I judge that there was too much difference from the public's eye level.

◇ Anchor> What did you think of Supreme Council member Kim Jong-hyuk? It has effectively stopped except for diplomatic practices and decisions that must be made in the national interest, taking full consideration of the current public opinion, and will continue this trend in the future. What do you think of the President's response?

◆Kim Jong-hyuk> I think that's similar to what CEO Han Dong-hoon said when he met the president last time.

◇ Anchor> Do you think we should stop all activities?

◆ Kim Jong-hyuk> To stop all activities, I really don't think she should stop, for example, from receiving a state dinner or something like this. But if you go to APEC this time, as if nothing happened, if you go with us right away, what will the public opinion be like from our point of view? I think it'll come out really bad. That's what I'm thinking. Public opinion is demonizing the wife. And you said what to do if the advice from your wife is called manipulation of state affairs. But it's a little hurt to bow your head to apologize for that and your wife's behavior. By saying that, the thoughts of the apology you were trying to convey or things like that are diluted, and then why are you apologizing when you say that? If you demonized your wife, you should have protested it. Why would you apologize? Isn't it possible to make such a counter-argument? So in that sense, there is a problem with demonizing the president's wife yourself, for example, around me. I also say that. You're wrong and there's a problem, but I don't think it's right to just demonize her, but I think it's a little inappropriate for the person to say that about your wife.
