“There is a whole problem with the way my wife and I behaved… I advise my wife to apologize properly as well.” < Current Affairs and Politics < Text of article

In a public address and press conference on the 7th, President Yoon Seok-yeol said, “The things I started for the sake of the people’s livelihood and the future of the Republic of Korea have caused inconvenience to the people, and I have also caused people to worry about things around me,” and “The President does not make excuses.” “I don’t think it’s my place to do this,” he said, apologizing.

President Yoon also revealed that he received advice in advance from First Lady Kim Kun-hee to “apologize properly to the people” regarding his apology.

When asked if First Lady Kim had anything to say while preparing for this press conference, President Yoon said, “Originally, I was going to hold a press conference after my trip. “But before I went on tour, an announcement was made that it would be better to do it 10 days in advance.”

President Yoon said, “(Ms. Kim) herself may also feel resentful, thinking, ‘They are intentionally demonizing us,’ ‘There is fake news,’ and ‘They are forcibly creating (suspicions) because they want to spread the word.’ But more than that, it is causing concern and upsetting to the people.” “I feel even more sorry for having to do this,” he said. “I also told him to apologize profusely and not just talk about the achievements of the government so far as a turning point in his term.”

When asked what specifically he was apologizing for, President Yoon said, “If you look at media reports, there are too many stories going around, so it is difficult for me to be specific about it,” and added, “But my conduct was not correct, and there was an issue with the communication between the president and the president’s wife.” “I am apologizing because the protocol was not properly followed, because unnecessary stories were said, and because people said things that should not have been said, and because the people were upset by such things,” he said.

However, “If you expect an apology for something that is not true, it cannot be acknowledged because it is different from the truth, and it is a conspiracy. “That is not something that can be apologized for,” he said.

He continued, “Anyway, the reason this has caused concern to the public is because there were problems with my wife and I’s behavior, and I will be more careful to prevent something like this from happening.”
