President Moon stated, "Looking at our politics, as reality is difficult, communication, cooperation, and unity are truly urgent, but reality is going in the exact opposite direction, so as president, I cannot help but feel a heavy heart," adding, "Of course, I believe a considerable part of this lies with the president as well. I do not intend to shift all responsibility."

President Moon continued, "We need to make more efforts, but one direction is to communicate more with the people, and when the new National Assembly is formed, we will strive for cooperation through more communication with the new legislature, and through that, gain stronger momentum to revive our economy," adding, "As I always pledge, I will also work to create more opportunities to communicate with the reporters."
