[Edaily editorial] Will President Yoon's press conference, which will determine the fate of the second half of the year, gain public understanding?

South Korean President Yoon Seok-youl will hold a press conference tomorrow (7th) following the announcement of his speech to the nation. With various suspicions surrounding the presidential office, how much will President Yoon say to the public?
Attention is focused on whether he will open up and ask for understanding. Furthermore, with the approval rating for the national government dropping to the lowest level in the 10% range, even within the ruling party, tensions are building and voices are being raised calling for a strong shake-up of the national government.
Some have even gone so far as to say that President Yoon should personally apologize to the people for the recent chaotic state of affairs in national politics. What concerns the public the most is whether President Yoon will apologize to his wife Kim Gun-Hee directly.
Although Kim was cleared of allegations in connection with the Brand Bags scandal and the German Motors stock price manipulation scandal, she remains a popular figure among the public.
The sense of distrust remains. Attention is focused on whether Kim will decide to restrain her overseas activities. The same can be said about Myung Tae-gyun, whose phone call records have been made public.
The press conference is being held three days before the halfway point of his term on the 10th, and is intended as an opportunity to present the direction of his administration's national affairs in the second half of the term.
President Yoon has repeatedly emphasized four major structural reforms, including pension, medical, education, and labor reforms, but the reality is that they have not yet produced significant results.
The world situation is changing rapidly. With the diplomatic and security environment undergoing sudden changes due to North Korea's dispatch of troops to Russia and the upcoming U.S. presidential election, South Korea will need to present a survival strategy.
President Yoon has remained largely silent despite the various ongoing controversies, and did not even attend the National Assembly's policy speech on the new year's budget bill the day before yesterday.
However, since this is just a teaser for the press conference, they need to be meticulously prepared and start frank communication. The outcome of the conversation could determine the fate of the second half of the Yoon administration.
I want you to take this fact seriously.
