[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Park Kyung-mi, the Blue House spokesperson, shed tears while reading President Moon Jae-in's message to the public regarding the election results.

On the 10th, during a briefing at the Blue House, Spokesperson Park read the content of the phone call between President Moon and President-elect Yoon, followed by "A message from President Moon to the people," and then began reading the message to the public.

Starting with a trembling voice, Spokesperson Park read, "Congratulations to the elected person and their supporters, and to those who were not elected and their supporters," but became too emotional to continue speaking.

Showing tears, Spokesperson Park said, "I will continue the briefing shortly," and left the podium to the waiting area behind the briefing stage, returning six minutes later to finish the briefing.

Appointed in April last year, Spokesperson Park previously served as a proportional representative member of the Democratic Party of Korea in the 20th National Assembly. In 2019, during her time as a lawmaker, she gained attention by uploading a video titled "Park Kyung-mi to President Moon Jae-in, Moon Light" on her YouTube channel.
