Financial News, Mexico City (Mexico) — Reporter Choi Jong-geunPresident Lee Jae Myung said at a meeting with the Korean community in Mexico on June 24 local time, "Because the time I have to do what I need to do is strictly limited, I am doing everything I can, saving every minute and second, to accomplish the many things and promises that I can and want to pursue within that limited time."
He continued, "There is absolutely no chance that I will remain in office beyond June 2, 2030, so those who may be worried about that should not worry."

At a press conference held at Cheong Wa Dae on June 18, President Lee had previously emphasized, "A second term for me through a constitutional amendment is constitutionally impossible," and added, "I want to state this firmly once again. I have absolutely no intention of serving a second term."
