President Lee Jae-myung on Party-Presidential Office Tensions: "A Process to Improve," "Shall We Move On?"

President Lee Jae-myung said today (June 19) regarding the recently emerged rumors of tensions between the ruling party and the presidential office, "The current controversies are a process to improve." President Lee gave this response when asked about the rumors and the interpretation surrounding the fact that Democratic Party of Korea leader Jung Chung-rae did not attend the departure ceremony for his European tour and the G7 summit, during a briefing on the outcomes of his trip held at the Chunchugwan press center in the presidential office. President Lee said, "To be honest, it doesn't feel that great to have many people lining up to see me off or greet me when I leave for or return from overseas," adding, "I had thoughts about whether it was really necessary this time as well, and it seems a situation arose where some were unable to attend or chose not to." Further details will be provided in the video.
