◇ Lee Ik-seon: Yes, according to a poll released this morning, President Yoon's approval rating is 19% and negative rating is 72%. Kim's problem was the highest at 17% after the president's unfair evaluation of job performance. Psychological support has collapsed to the 10% level. Before I ask you, this is the result of a telephone survey of 1,5 adult men and women nationwide from the 29th to the 31st of last month by Gallup Korea. Details can be found on the website of Gallup Korea or the Central Public Opinion Review Committee. There is an analysis that public sentiment has reached a threshold. I need you to interpret the results of this poll.
☆ Jang Ye-chan: Of course you have to take it seriously. Although there is a 1% difference between 2 or 1 in front of it, there is a serious perception within the ruling camp that the 20% Maginot Line has collapsed anyway, so I think the time sequence of various cards for the breakthrough of the state administration that the presidential office had in mind should be pulled a little bit. For example, they do not greet in a hurry as they turn around the halfway point of their term. And there's APEC at the end of this month. After APEC's major diplomatic events, the President will frankly address various issues including the controversy over Myung Tae-kyun, and I understand that he is preparing for a series of major Cabinet reshuffles and personnel reshuffles in the presidential office by the end of the year. However, as negative news continues to spread and approval ratings are declining, wouldn't APEC be a barrier to his activities in the diplomatic arena if he doesn't have a driving force in domestic politics? Then, a conversation or a press conference with the people that you originally prepared. And if necessary, a major reshuffle or a massive personnel reshuffle. Daegu Mayor Hong Joon Pyo also said that the Cabinet and the Presidential Office need a full-scale personnel reshuffle today. In fact, the Lee Myung Bak administration made this personnel reshuffle not as a reversal card but as a demonstration of its will to reborn to the public when the approval rating of the presidential office or the Cabinet declined after the mad cow disease scandal. This is why the approval rating has risen in the third year of his administration. That's actually a difficult thing. So any Lee Myung Bak government is actually a government that has gone through many difficult internal and external conditions beyond the Yoon Suk Yeol government. In particular, I think aides working in the Yoon Suk Yeol government and the presidential office need to study how the MB government has overcome the crisis a little bit, and as I said earlier, I think we need to move forward and use the existing measures. However, I naturally agree that the drop in approval ratings is serious and that this approval rating should be raised because it is the driving force of state affairs created by the people, but the approval rating is now 19%. I think it's premature to shut down this government or talk about impeachment just because it's going to fall further to 17 percent or 15 percent. Because former President Roh Moo Hyun also recorded the lowest approval rating of 5.7%. But didn't you finish your five-year term anyway? Of course, the government has to make efforts to win support from the people and is criticized if the approval rating falls, but if it is not good and the lowest level, it will be hard to find a government that lasts five years in Korea's term if it is impeached every time and makes them bury the government every time.
◆ Choi Soo-young: You're an expert in poll analysis. Please analyze it in detail.
★ Kim Sung-wan: Last week, Yoon Suk Yeol's president had a positive rating of 20%. It's 19% based on Gallup in Korea. The negative evaluation was 70%, but it went up to 72%. And most of all, I actually suspected my eyes. Last week, Daegu-Gyeongbuk approval ratings fell a lot. In particular, the approval rating of supporters of the people's power has fallen. Because of this, the conservative media also took the figure very shockingly. Last week, Daegu and Gyeongbuk had a positive evaluation rate of 26% and a negative evaluation rate of 60%. This week, 18% of Daegu and Gyeongbuk received a positive evaluation. The negativity is 69%. The figure of 18% is. Seoul, Gyeonggi, Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam accounted for 22%. Daejeon, Sejong, and Chungcheong have 29%. But Daegu and Gyeongbuk came out at 18%. I don't know how the president's office will interpret this number. And supporters of the power of the people. So last week, 48% was positive, 48% was negative, and 40% was negative. But this week, it was tied at 44% and 44%.
★ Kim Sung-wan: The support base that should support President Yoon is completely collapsing. That's what it means. The fact that Daegu and North Gyeongsang Province are lower than those in Seoul, Gyeonggi, Daejeon, and Chungcheong provinces can only be interpreted as having already entered a state of psychological impeachment. In particular, there will be many high-ranking political participants in Daegu and Gyeongbuk. But the high-ranking government officials are very angry. He began to turn his back on President Yoon. Then, I'd like to ask you a question about where President Yoon will find the power of state affairs. And you mentioned the case of President Lee Myung Bak. President Lee Myung Bak had a national backlash because of his judgment on policy. President Yoon Suk Yeol is now facing a legal issue. In particular, the legal problem of the spouse is very serious. The fire has now spread from the spouse's legal problems to the president's law violations. Already. That's why it's already difficult to solve this problem in this way, whether it's a Cabinet reshuffle to change the situation. In the end, the president is also saying that he is proud. The same goes for Mrs. Kim Gun-hee. Then, the government should get the independent counsel's law and resolve suspicions over the issue to regain momentum in state affairs. There is no answer other than the Special Prosecutor Act. I look at it like this.
