[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] President Yoon Seok-yeol stated on the 11th, "Integration means that our political process itself is a process of national integration." This was a direct rebuttal by President Yoon to some criticisms that the word 'integration' was missing from his inaugural address.

At 8:33 a.m. that day, as he arrived at the Yongsan Presidential Office Building, President Yoon responded to reporters' questions about his "first morning commute impression" by saying, "Some people pointed out that the word integration was missing from my inaugural speech yesterday, but that is because it is too obvious," emphasizing this point.

He continued, "I spoke about 'what values integration should aim for,' so I hope people understand it that way," he stressed.

When asked about his feelings as the first president to commute to work, he briefly replied, "No special feelings. I have to work."

When reporters mentioned, "To preside over tomorrow's Cabinet meeting, some ministers need to be appointed today," he said, "I will make sure to take care of it."
