[Breaking] President Lee Jae Myung to Hold Press Conference on the 18th, Expected to Address Major Issues

[Financial News] President Lee Jae Myung will hold a press conference on the 18th and personally present his positions on major national issues. With controversies over recent appointments, real estate, constitutional revision, and foreign and security affairs emerging in succession, attention is focused on the event as an opportunity for the president to explain matters directly to the public.
Seong Ki-hong, Chief Secretary for Public Affairs and Communications, said at a briefing on the 15th at the Chunchugwan Press Center at the Blue House that President Lee would hold the press conference at 10 a.m. on the 18th at the Blue House guesthouse.
The press conference is expected to cover a broad range of major issues, including controversy over the selection of ministerial nominees, real estate policy, the cancellation of indictments, controversy over constitutional revision to allow consecutive terms, the deployment of troops to the Strait of Hormuz, and investment in the United States. As issues that could weigh on the administration's approval rating and public sentiment have emerged simultaneously, the key point of interest will be what judgments and solutions President Lee presents on each matter.
Observers say President Lee is expected to use the press conference as an opportunity to clarify the government's position on major issues while strengthening direct communication with the public.
