President Lee Jae-myung, who is on a state visit to Mexico, stated, "I will take good care of affairs at least during my term so that you do not have to worry about the Republic of Korea," adding, "There will absolutely be no going past June 2, 2030."

President Lee made the remarks on the evening of September 24 local time during a dinner meeting with the Korean diaspora community in Mexico City, adding, "For those who are concerned about such things, please do not worry."

June 2030, referenced by President Lee, is when his presidential term concludes, and his remarks are seen as once again clarifying his intentions by firmly refuting speculation over a consecutive term raised primarily by conservative opposition parties.
