[Asia Economy Reporters Hyunju Lee and Juni Park] Kim Ki-hyun, Acting Leader of the People Power Party and Floor Leader, held a press conference on the 26th after a luncheon meeting with President Moon Jae-in at the Blue House, stating, "I felt that the president's perception of the issue is quite different from the anxious feelings held by the general public."

Acting Leader Kim said, "Even regarding the vaccine issue, the president only says not to worry and that we can be reassured," adding, "We have asked for a clear roadmap, but all we get is to trust and be reassured. I hope the president fully recognizes the very real pain the people are experiencing."

He continued, "I have repeatedly suggested forming a ruling-opposition-government consultative body to resolve real estate issues, but there has been no response, so I asked for an answer," and "There was also no special response to the request to promote a special committee for the vaccine hub initiative."

He said, "I asked and requested quite a few things, but as mentioned, many questions went unanswered or received responses reflecting completely different perceptions."
