[Asia Economy Reporter Baek Kyunghwan] President Yoon Seok-yeol will begin his summer vacation next week. Although there was a high possibility that the vacation plan would be postponed for a long time due to the strike by the subcontractor union of Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering, the situation has been resolved for now, and he decided to take his vacation as scheduled in early August.

A presidential office official explained to reporters at the Yongsan Presidential Office building on the 25th, "President Yoon urged everyone to recharge their energy and take a vacation as a way to stimulate the domestic economy."

Earlier, on the 21st, when reporters asked President Yoon about his first summer vacation plan during his term, he paused briefly and said, "Well, if various difficult situations are resolved..." then added, "Originally, (former presidents) have continuously gone to Jeodo in Geoje-si, Gyeongsangnam-do for summer vacations, but since it is Geoje-do... I have been thinking about it." Although he had not made vacation plans due to numerous pressing issues, it appears that he decided to take a vacation after the wage negotiations with the subcontractor union of Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering were dramatically settled.

The specific vacation schedule and location have not been confirmed. A presidential office official stated, "There are not many vacation spots the president can go to. I understand that he is considering and reviewing a few regions."
