President Yoon decides not to attend National Assembly policy speech... South Korean Presidential Office: ”Why can he attend when the opposition party is even holding an impeachment rally?”

The South Korean presidential office reaffirmed on the 3rd that President Yoon Seok-yeol will not attend the National Assembly's policy speech on next year's budget bill, scheduled for the 4th.
According to South Korean media outlet Newsis, a presidential office official said, "How can he go to the State of the Union address when the opposition party is even holding an impeachment rally and the minimum level of decorum is not being observed?"
Earlier, Jeong Jin-seok, chief of staff to the president, responded to a question about President Yoon's speech during a parliamentary audit of the presidential secretariat at the National Assembly Steering Committee on the 1st by saying, "It has not been decided yet.
"I understand that the Prime Minister will be attending," he said. Jeong's remarks were also interpreted as leaving some room for maneuver.
Lawmakers from the opposition Democratic Party gathered in front of Seoul Station and made strong statements, including promoting impeachment proceedings, after which they appeared to have decided not to attend the meeting in the presidential office.
Furthermore, the ruling and opposition parties have been in extreme conflict for a long time, and even impeachment rallies have been held.
There were also concerns about gender. Meanwhile, it is said that Han Dong-hoon, the leader of the ruling party People Power Party, secretly expressed his desire to attend President Yoon's speech in the National Assembly.
It seems that President Yoon's decision could not be changed. If Prime Minister Han Deok-soo were to read the budget speech on his behalf, it would be similar to the 2013 Park Geun-hye administration's
This will break the tradition of the president delivering a budget speech, which has been in place since the inauguration of the government. Another official in the presidential office said, "It would not serve the national interest to give a speech in front of the National Assembly and show a bad image."
He added, "It appears they took into consideration the fact that it was a venue to explain the budget proposal, so the president did not need to go there specifically, and that he does not go there every time."
