◇ Anchor> Yoon Seok-yeol Yoon Suk Yeol recently re-captured a golf club for the first time in almost eight years. It's because of U.S. President-elect Trump on the right. Former President Trump is known as a golf fanatic. Did you reschedule your golf club in preparation for the day we met?

◆Yoon Hee-seok> I think so. First of all, when President Trump was elected for the first time, former Japanese Prime Minister Abe was the first to visit President Trump, who was elected eight years ago, all the way to the United States. At the same time, we had a personal relationship to some extent. Since then, we have played golf together every time we meet, and we have talked about many things, creating a case in which the close relationship between the two leaders was used to strengthen the cooperative relationship between the two countries.

Former Prime Minister Abe even fell while playing golf while going into a bunker and cleaning up the bunker. That's how much I was very serious about playing golf with President Trump. If there is a strategy that can fulfill our interests in any way about President Trump, who has become the top of the superpower of the United States, not in this dimension, we should follow it.

So President Yoon Suk Yeol practiced golf for the first time in a long time. In the end, I will sincerely approach the relationship with President Trump in the future. It should be seen as an expression of that attitude of doing anything for the national interest.

◇ Anchor> Yoon Seok-yeol Yoon Suk Yeol said that he had a talent in baseball in the past. I'm not sure. Can a person who is good at baseball be good at golf?

◆Yoon Hee-seok> Baseball and golf have quite similar swings. It's different from hitting the flying ball horizontally and hitting the standing ball down. Anyway, it's a rotational exercise, so I think you're doing well.

◇Anchor> I've seen a lot of articles saying that I'm good at baseball, so I'm looking forward to playing golf well. Anyway, if it can be used for diplomacy, it's not a bad thing to focus on this, right?

◆ Seo Yong-ju> It's not bad. In recent years, I think it may be the best thing to do in state administration. I had this thought. Recently, during the confirmation hearing with Defense Minister nominee Kim Yong-hyun, there was talk about the fact that President Yoon Suk Yeol and his wife used the golf course during the Bucheon Fire.

But at that time, I remember First Lady Kim Gun-hee or President Yoon Suk Yeol vehemently denying it, saying it had been a long time since they played golf. I think you've been preparing since then. First of all, if golf itself can be used by the Trump administration, I would like to prepare well and do it properly.

◇Anchor> Lastly, Yoon Suk Yeol Yoon Seok-yeol predicts that I will have a good chemistry with Trump, so please briefly tell us what the chemistry will be like.

◆Yoon Hee-seok> I think it can fit well. Basically, the message you two are talking about is very fast, clear, and straightforward. So that's how you feel. They don't care about complicated things and go to the core, so if you talk, I expect that it will be a relationship where a lot of consensus can be reached.

◆ Seo Yong-joo> I'm worried if the chemistry is good. Because the president of Yoon Suk Yeol is a person who likes to give. President Trump is a person who likes to take other people's things. Then, in the end, if President Yoon Suk Yeol, who likes to give food, is swayed by President Trump and gives everything, what will happen to Korea's public space? I would like you to respond while thinking about the chemistry realistically.

◇Anchor> I think Trump should practice hard because he is known to be very good at golf.
