″The president has the perception that over 60 hours a week is unreasonable, even if you work overtime.″
When the maximum 69-hour week faced opposition from public opinion, it presented a new standard.
President Yoon also said that the government reform plan was regrettable.
It seems that the Ministry of Employment and Labor has been criticized.
The announcement of the position of the president’s office is already three days in a row.
I saw that the opposition public opinion was unusual and started to evolve, but the power of the people, the ruling party, is also at a loss.
I held a meeting to listen to the opinions of MZ workers, but I only heard criticism that 60 hours a week or 69 hours a week is not the same as long-time overtime.

″When I proposed 60 hours, free overtime or something like that is not a solution that will end again. It’s over 60 hours, so companies can do it like this.”
The Democratic Party criticized the president for using an out-of-body technique to get away with it.

″Now that more than 60 hours a week is impossible, are you saying that the president decided on a policy without even knowing?
The Justice Party also criticized, saying, “The head of the administration was slyly sorry,” and “the president of a Chinese restaurant behaves as if he is seeing Jajangmyeon for the first time.”
