President Yoon Suk Yeol will hold a public statement and press conference on the 7th.
It is expected that the opposition party will answer the issue of First Lady Kim Gun-hee and suspicions of Myung Tae-kyun, who have recently raised the level of the offensive.
I'm connecting with a reporter from the presidential office to find out more.
Reporter Cho Yong-sung, I think it's suddenly decided in the middle of the night, so please tell me the details.

Yes, President Yoon Suk Yeol has decided to make a public statement and press conference on the 7th.
A senior presidential office official said in a call with YTN that President Yoon made the decision.
It is the first time since the 2nd anniversary of his inauguration in May, and the format is the same as last time.
It is a method in which President Yoon first makes a public statement and then meets with reporters to continue the Q&A.
The exact details of the public statement are not yet known.
However, an official from the presidential office said on the phone that President Yoon is expected to answer questions about various suspicions surrounding First Lady Kim Gun-hee.
Originally, the presidential office was considering how to communicate with the people as soon as they completed their diplomatic schedule around the end of this month.
However, it is interpreted that President Yoon made the decision as the opposition party set November as "Kim's Special Prosecutor's Month" and raised the level of the offensive to the maximum and the approval rating was around 10%.
As a result, President Yoon will hold another press conference before the 10th, the halfway point of his term.
Attention is focusing on whether President Yoon, who did not attend the speech today (4th), will explain the controversy over First Lady Kim and various suspicions surrounding Myung Tae-kyun in a public statement and press conference.
So far, the political department has delivered it.
