[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The Blue House dismissed the KBS union's claim that there was a script for President Moon Jae-in's 'Dialogue with the People' on the 21st, stating that "it is impossible to designate the respondent in advance."

A Blue House official responded to reporters' questions on the afternoon of the 22nd regarding the matter, saying, "The report that there was a script is not true," and added, "The questions could not have been known in advance, and it was impossible to designate the respondent beforehand, which the public watching must have understood."

Regarding U.S. President Biden's consideration of a boycott of the Beijing Olympics, the official said, "The government continues to maintain the basic stance that the Beijing Winter Olympics should serve as a turning point for improving inter-Korean relations and contribute to peace and prosperity in Northeast Asia and the world."

In response to Japanese media reports that Biden will visit Japan next year to attend the Quad meeting and questions about Biden's planned visit to Korea, the Blue House explained, "The report of the Japan visit has not been confirmed," and "Regarding that, discussions about a visit to Korea or such matters are not at a stage for consideration."
