Attention is focusing on what remarks will come out about the controversy over First Lady Kim Gun-hee and the suspicion of Myung Tae-kyun in a short time at the public statement and press conference of President Yoon Suk Yeol.

The power of the people is paying keen attention to the level and direction of President Yoon's remarks, but the Democratic Party of Korea also gave a negative outlook that the president would add fuel to public sentiment.

I'm connecting with the National Assembly reporter, reporter Lim Sung-jae!

Please tell us more about the political atmosphere ahead of President Yoon's statement and press conference!

Inside the power of the people, there is a lot of anxiety and anticipation in the presidential statement and press conference for the first time in two months.

This is because it is expected to be a major watershed as to whether the controversy over Kim Gun-hee, who came as the biggest negative factor ahead of the halfway point of her presidency, and whether she can expect a reversal in her recent low approval rating.

First of all, the pro-yoon community expects the party to regain momentum in policy promotion and resolving controversies and suspicions based on this press conference.

In a phone call with YTN, a pro-Yoon-gye lawmaker said, "Now is the time to trust the president and wait," and said he thought he would change his mind and show something.

On the other hand, there are voices of concern among the close circle that the presidential conference will end just beyond blurring various suspicions and controversies.

One person told YTN that even if the statement was disappointing, the party should take center stage, and although it is still too early for the "Kim Gun-hee Special Counsel Act", the special inspector general's general meeting could be considered.

Another person is paying attention to the impact of the statement, saying that some lawmakers who are not close to each other are in favor of Kim's special prosecution.

On the other hand, the main response of the Democratic Party was that there was no expectation for President Yoon's statement and press conference in the first place.

In a phone call with YTN, an official from the party's representative office said, "We give up expectations on President Yoon's statement," and predicted that the special prosecutor will be more resilient if remarks that do not meet the public's expectations.

Another key opposition official said President Yoon is expected to add fuel to public sentiment, stressing that controversy and suspicions over the past cannot be avoided unless she receives an independent counsel from Kim.

Rep. Jung Sung-ho also criticized President Yoon in an MBC radio interview, saying, "What can we expect when we have only two things, Lee Jae-myung's oppression and spouse protection?"

So far, I'm YTN Lim Sungjae in the National Assembly.
