President Lee Jaemyung will hold a press conference at 10 a.m. on the 18th at the Blue House's State Guest House. The Blue House said that at this press conference, the president will directly explain his position on key state affairs and the direction of government administration. The press conference will last about 90 minutes in total and will consist of opening remarks, a Q&A session, and closing remarks. Questions will be taken separately on politics and diplomacy, and on policy and the economy, and about 150 domestic and foreign reporters are expected to attend. At this press conference, messages related to the dismissal of charges and constitutional amendment for a second term are expected to draw particular attention. Recent personnel controversies, internal conflicts within the ruling bloc, foreign affairs and security issues, and the direction of economic policy such as real estate and taxation are also likely to be major topics of questions. The Blue House explained that it is not considering a drastic shift in the state administration policy.
