In a KBS New Year’s talk aired on the night of the 7th, President Yoon Seok-yeol said, “I have some regrets” regarding First Lady Kim Kun-hee receiving a luxury bag from pro-North Korea pastor Mr. Choi, and added, “I will make it clear that this will not cause concern to the people.”
This is the first time that President Yoon has directly expressed his position on this issue since the controversy over receiving First Lady Kim’s bag arose in November last year. When the anchor asked whether the couple had a fight because of this, President Yoon said, “Not at all.”
President Yoon said, “My wife’s father passed away when she was in middle school, so (Pastor Choi) came here talking about his close relationship with her father, and it is very difficult for the president or the president’s wife to treat someone with contempt. “If the problem was that I couldn’t call it off because he kept saying he would come, I think it would have been a problem and a shame,” he said. “If you had told me about this situation in advance, I would have treated you a little more firmly, but from my wife’s perspective, it was difficult to reject it because of various situations.” “I think it was difficult, and there are some regrets,” he said.
When asked whether he agreed with the ruling party’s claim that Ms. Kim Kun-hee was a ‘victim of political manipulation’, he said, “It was an operation because they even installed a hidden camera in her watch and did this,” and added, “It was a year before the election (general election) and (filming) took place. He said, “Exploding something like this itself should be seen as a political maneuver.”
President Yoon said, “However, it is not important to call it a political maneuver, but I would like to say that it is important to draw a line and act more clearly to prevent such incidents from happening in the future.” “When drawing a line, you have to conduct yourself while drawing a line,” he said.
Regarding the demand for a special inspection system and the establishment of a second attached office, which was raised in the wake of Ms.

President Yoon said, “My wife can’t keep (people) away, so they keep saying they’ll come, so they’re actually giving notice and pushing in. If we can’t completely prevent that, wouldn’t we have no choice but to meet even if there’s a second annex?” He added, “That’s why me or my wife “We need to be more clear and firm when dealing with people so that the public doesn’t worry in the future,” he said.
When asked whether he discusses political issues with First Lady Kim Kun-hee, President Yoon said, “We do it because we are a married couple,” but added, “Conversation is not easy due to our busy schedules, but we tend to talk relatively a lot.”
Meanwhile, President Yoon Seok-yeol has not held a separate press conference since the ‘100th day of inauguration press conference’ in August 2022. Doorstepping (informal interviews on the way to work) has been discontinued after November 2022.
This broadcast was recorded at the Yongsan Presidential Office on the 4th. President Yoon Seok-yeol is said to have answered questions on the spot without bringing any additional materials.
