It was reported on the 21st that President Yoon Seok-yeol recently told supporters, “I will now be a president who plays politics.” It is said that after speaking with Lee Jae-myeong, the leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, on the 19th, he gathered the President’s Chief of Staff, the Director of the Security Office, and the Director of Policy and said this. President Yoon proposed a ‘Yongsan meeting’ in a phone call with Representative Lee that day. President Yoon’s comment that he was a ‘president who plays politics’ which came immediately after has been interpreted as a sign that he would change his governing style after the landslide defeat of the ruling party in the April 10 general election.
President Yoon expressed his thoughts on the results of the general election and his future intentions to his staff, saying, “I have been running around the field with the determination to work hard, but I have fallen short of expectations. He said, “I have to change my style a lot,” and “I will reduce my schedule, messages and words.” President Yoon also said, “I have to be a president who talks to the people in a friendly way.” An official from the Office of the President said, “It seems to mean that he will respect the opinion of the public that is reflected in the results of the general election and that he will he removed the image of ‘self-righteousness’ and ‘incommunicado’ if he has acted against that intent.” Another official from the Office of the President said, “It seems that there has been an awakening that the President is the ‘supreme political leader’.
However, the political task ahead of President Yoon is not easy. First, Lee Jae-myeong, the leader of the Democratic Party who will meet with President Yoon this week, says that it is an agenda for the livelihood of the people and that he will bring 250,000 won in support of all citizens to the discussion table. This is a difficult issue for the president and the government to accept. President Yoon recently invited emergency committee chairman Han Dong-hoon of the People’s Power Party and members of the emergency committee to Yongsan’s presidential office, but former president Han said that it would be difficult for him to attend due to health reasons.
Nevertheless, the Office of the President began a follow-up operation to restore President Yoon’s politics. First, we are considering reducing the site visit schedule, which has been criticized as “excessive” by some in political circles. In addition, we are working on ways to strengthen communication with the governing party as well as members of the opposition party. An official from the Office of the President said, “We will minimize the president’s comments and messages, but if they are comments that need to be made, we will make them concise and clean them up so that the public is not feels uncomfortable.” The idea is to avoid too many ideological expressions, such as ‘communist totalitarianism’, which President Yoon mentioned in several memorial speeches last year. In this regard, the former lawmaker Kim Jong-in, who once chaired President Yoon’s campaign committee in the last presidential election, “I think (President Yoon) has made great progress to do.”

There are also signs that President Yoon has already begun to transform into a ‘president who plays politics.’ An official from the President’s Office explained that the phone call with Representative Lee Jae-myung is an example. It is said that the staff of the Office of the President first suggested a phone call with Representative Lee on the 11th, the day after the general election. There was no response from President Yoon for about a week afterward, but it is said that after visiting the cemetery on April 19, he ordered to coordinate a phone call with Representative Lee. The ruling party also takes into account the fact that President Yoon accepted the proposal from the presidents of the national universities to ‘independently hire 50-100% of the quota’ on the issue of increasing the number of medical schools, for which he has consistently been. maintain a ‘no revocation’ attitude.
The Office of the President also considers it unusual for President Yoon to receive a report on a draft speech related to a recent event and order it to be revised. An official from the Office of the President said, “When the draft of the speech sent out from the ministry contained many technical terms, the President sent it back, saying, ‘Rewrite it to will the public understand it.'” he said, “There was also a great struggle to use technical terms such as ‘quantum.’ “President Yoon, who has never been there, emphasized raising public expectations,” he said.
In the political world, many pointed to President Yoon’s strict style or overly self-centered message as the problem, rather than his own administration policy. Since President Yoon stopped holding short (doorstep) press conferences on his way to work a year and a half ago, he has been unveiling his government plans through various meetings called he above, including the Cabinet meeting. This year, I have chaired 24 public livelihood discussions on the site in which citizens have participated. A ruling party official said, “Maybe the president intended to persuade the people directly, but there are aspects that did not enter the public because it was seen as a ‘monologue’ without comparison or as a one-sided ‘policy promotion demonstration’. Similar points were raised regarding President Yoon’s public speech on the 1st, in which he emphasized the need to increase the number of doctors for 51 minutes, and his comments at the Cabinet meeting on the 16th, when he was criticized for ‘reflecting after promoting results. ‘.

In response to President Yoon’s comment that he will be ‘a president who plays politics,’ the ruling party responded by saying, “It’s a good time. ” Some also say that President Yoon’s will for change can only be determined by seeing if he engages in dialogue with the opposition party as well as non-mainstream figures on the side. within the ruling party. President Yoon has been dealing with non-mainstream figures in the ruling party, including Representative Lee Jae-myung, former lawmaker Na Kyung-won, who was fighting with the pro-Yoon group ahead of the People’s Power Party leadership election convention in March last year. , lawmaker Ahn Cheol-soo, who was an opponent of the coalition of presidential candidates, and former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min, who contested during the presidential primary Chan he has not had a single meeting since taking office. In this regard, former lawmaker Kim Jong-in appeared on CBS Radio on the 19th and said, “President Yoon must break away from the same way of thinking that he has been doing until until now,” and he said, “Since he has decided to do this. time, wouldn’t it be an opportunity to bring about some change?”
Meanwhile, President Yoon continued to argue over the issue of choosing a successor as chief of staff over the weekend. President Yoon is known to be considering strong candidates such as Chung Jin-seok (64), former vice president of the National Assembly, and former Saenuri Party leader Lee Jeong -hyeon (66), who was elected twice in the National Assembly. Suncheon constituency of Jeollanam-do. Both are also named as candidates for prime minister. There are several people who praise former lawmaker Won Hee-ryong (60), who was the Minister of Lands, Infrastructure and Transport in the current administration, and lawmaker Jang Je-won (57 ), who was chief of staff when the president, as chief of staff.
