As a result, the total number of bills that President Yoon vetoed has increased to 24 since taking office, and the president's office criticized the opposition party for unilaterally passing bills full of unconstitutional and illegal possibilities.

Yes, President Yoon Suk Yeol vetoed three bills that passed the National Assembly plenary session led by the opposition party on the 19th of last month.

The presidential office said President Yoon called for the National Assembly to reconsider the Special Prosecutor Act of Kim Gun-hee, the Special Prosecutor Act of Chae Sang-byung, and the Local Currency Act this morning.

Former Presidential Office spokesman Chung Hye held a briefing just now and said it is an obligation and responsibility for the president to exercise his right to request reconsideration of unconstitutional and illegal legislation.

The veto is due to the opposition party's unilateral enforcement of a bill full of unconstitutional and illegal possibilities.

The problems of the bills were also pointed out one by one.

First, the president's office pointed out that the opposition party clearly expressed its intention to lead the investigation into the Kim Special Prosecutor Act and the Chae Sang-byung Special Prosecutor Act, and that it deprived the president of his right to appoint a special prosecutor by allowing the opposition party to appoint a special prosecutor.

It also said that the Local Currency Act has problems such as undermining local autonomy by forcing the state to provide financial support.

He then criticized the opposition party, saying that it is the current state of the opposition to pass such a bill full of unconstitutional and illegal possibilities, and that it is feared to be recorded as a "constitutional party together," not the Democratic Party of Korea.

With the approval of the re-request, the total number of bills that President Yoon has vetoed since taking office has increased to 24.

The three bills that were vetoed will go back to the National Assembly and go through the process of re-voting.

Has the president's office come out on the prosecution's acquittal of First Lady Kim Gun-hee in connection with allegations of accepting luxury bags?

[Reporter]
An official from the presidential office told reporters that there has been no fixed position on the results of the prosecution's investigation yet.

He also declined to comment on the apology to Mrs. Kim, which some members of the ruling party demanded.

An official from the president's office explained that there are reports that the weight will be put on the review regarding Kim's apology, but that it is currently listening to various opinions.

The release of the recording of former senior administrator Kim Dae-nam's request for a report attacking then-candidate Han Dong-hoon ahead of the People's Power National Convention was clearly a one-sided claim.

Earlier, YouTube's "Sound of Seoul" released a recording that Kim Gun-hee claimed would like if former senior administrator Kim hit a candidate.

An official from the presidential office reiterated that it is an exaggerated and one-sided claim, as the former administrator himself said, and that the former administrator is just a working-level administrator who has no contact with Kim at all.
