Hong Chul-ho, senior secretary for political affairs, said, "A reporter who asked the president an apology, rude..."Like a parent's child".

Hong Chul-ho, senior presidential secretary for political affairs, said at a press conference for the president of Yoon Suk Yeol on the 7th that the reporter's question about what the president is apologizing for was "disrespectful."

Chief Hong attended a plenary session of the National Assembly Steering Committee yesterday (29th) and responded to an opposition lawmaker's question that he could not answer when a reporter asked him what he apologized to the president.

The president also apologized, but he mentioned that the attitude of "What did you do wrong?" to a child should be corrected as if parents were doing it.

Earlier, in a public statement on the 7th, President Yoon bowed his head, saying, "I'm sorry to the people, and I'll apologize first," and said, "I've worried and worried about the people around me."

At the press conference that followed, a reporter from the Busan Ilbo asked President Yoon for a supplementary explanation, saying, "He apologized somewhat vaguely and comprehensively, but I think the people will be puzzled about what the president apologized for."
