[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Jeong-min] "The media and politics are fierce competitors who never neglect the struggle to preempt the agenda of history and social development, and in times of crisis, they must not hesitate to become collaborators for the people."

Park Su-hyun, Senior Secretary for Public Communication at the Blue House, shared his thoughts on visiting media outlets on Facebook on the 10th. Park said, "After about 40 days in office as Senior Secretary for Public Communication, I have completed visits to about 40 media companies and took a moment to reflect," adding, "There were both encouragement and reprimands. I will keep them in mind."

Park said, "I have served as spokesperson six times, then as chairman of the party's Public Relations and Communication Committee, and now as Senior Secretary for Public Communication, but I realized I still have much to learn. It is also true that I feel I have grown by about one span."

Park also expressed his thoughts on the relationship between the media and politics. He said, "I think the media and politics are both 'competitors' and 'collaborators'." Park pledged, "I will strengthen the belief that the media is a public instrument and the voice of the people."

He explained, "I will sincerely strive so that the idea that criticism is also a form of love does not waver. I will treat the media and journalists with a special attitude because the media is the voice of the people."
