He will apparently answer direct questions about the content of his phone call with Myung Tae-gyun, who is said to be a broker. A senior official in the presidential office said, "As I reach the midpoint of my term, I will report my accomplishments to the public and set a policy for the future.
"I plan to explain my policy through a question-and-answer session, and provide detailed explanations on all issues that concern the public," he said.
On the 10th, with the midpoint of his term approaching, President Yoon and his presidential office are calling for reforms in various national affairs.
The decision to hold the press conference appears to have been made against this backdrop. A high-ranking source said, "We have been preparing for the press conference," and "At the suggestion of the staff, we decided to hold the press conference after visiting the country."
"I set up the press conference as an opportunity to talk to the public before the election," he explained. President Yoon's decision to hold the press conference appears to be a response to his declining approval rating and worsening public sentiment.
On this day, the polling company Realmeter conducted a nationwide survey of 251 voters aged 18 and over from the 28th of last month to the 1st of this month at the request of the Energy and Economics Newspaper.
According to a survey of six people, President Yoon's performance in the country over the last five weeks of October was approved by 22.4% of the public. This is a 2.2 percentage point drop from the previous survey.
The negative rating rose 2.8 percentage points from the previous survey to 74.2%, the highest since he took office.
When we look at the survey results by region, age group, and ideological tendency, even among conservative supporters,
The survey showed that support was fluctuating. In Busan, Ulsan, and South Gyeongsang, the positive rating fell by 7 points, while the negative rating rose by 6.9 points. The positive rating for those aged 60 and over fell by 3.8 points.
Among those aged 70 and over, the positive rating fell by 6.1 points, while the negative rating rose by 8 points.
On the same day, Han Dong-hoon, chairman of the ruling party People Power Party, called on President Yoon to apologize to the people and to fully appoint the presidential office staff.
"The president should honestly and in detail explain the issues that concern the public and take necessary measures, including an apology," Han said at a Supreme Committee meeting held at the National Assembly.
