Yoon-Elected Side "We Want to Work... Reform Will Not Be Circumvented"

[Asia Economy Reporter Baek Kyunghwan] Just one day after the Blue House expressed opposition to the relocation of the presidential office, President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol's side stated, "Please help us to work." Although they did not specify the target of the remark and explained that it was "addressed to the people," it is interpreted as an indirect criticism of the Blue House's opposition to the relocation and a call for acceptance.

On the 22nd, Kim Eun-hye, the spokesperson for the president-elect, said at a briefing held at the Korea Institute of Finance in Samcheong-dong, Seoul, in the morning, "President-elect Yoon, who said he is not loyal to any person, understands well that the people's mandate for regime change in this election is a serious wish for him to work properly," conveying this message.

In particular, Spokesperson Kim emphasized, "The new government will strive to use the authority entrusted by the people according to the Constitution and laws for the country and the people," and added, "We will not bypass necessary reforms due to difficulties or leave them as future burdens for the people." However, regarding the relocation of the presidential office, she expressed regret, saying, "I thought the work handover would proceed smoothly since it was one of the few pledges that President Moon Jae-in and President-elect Yoon shared consensus on, but the result was otherwise."

Regarding recent opinion polls showing many opposing the move to Yongsan, she also stated, "We are carefully listening to the valuable opinions given," and added, "In the future, when there is a stage to explain the progress in detail, we will not miss the opportunity to share and seek understanding together."
