The presidential office directly refuted the claim that the so-called "Kim Gun-hee First Lady Line" serves as a secret line.

As Han Dong-hoon, representative of People's Power, insisted that Kim's personnel need to be reformed one after another ahead of the solo meeting, the president's office, which had remained silent, responded for the first time.

A senior official in the presidential office told reporters that there is no organization in the presidential office that operates as a secret line other than public affairs.

At the same time, he said that there was only a presidential line, and that the final personnel decision maker was also the president.

Rather, he asked what was wrong with the demand for "personal reform" and pointed out that the media should not be swayed by rumors.People identified as close aides to

'Kim Gun-hee said that no one came into the presidential office through private relationships.

There was also an interpretation that the representative intended to pass on the responsibility in case he lost the election, along with doubts about whether he really intends to have a one-on-one relationship.

In this atmosphere, concerns were raised that the "Yoon-Han Dokdae" might be going down the drain, but the president's office said it would proceed as scheduled.

After the by-elections, we decided to adjust the schedule and prepare a seat as early as early as next week.

However, it is unclear whether the allegations related to Mrs. Kim will be able to achieve a result of restoring relations between the ruling party and the government, as suspicions related to the first lady are expected to rise to the main agenda.
