[Asia Economy Reporters Koo Chae-eun and Park Joon-yi] When Rep. Han Jeong-ae of the Democratic Party of Korea pointed out that President Yoon Seok-yeol's remark "It's my first time being president" was inappropriate, Prime Minister Han Duck-soo responded by saying that former President Roh Moo-hyun had also said, "I really can't handle this."

On the 27th, during the education, social, and cultural government questioning session held at the National Assembly plenary session, Rep. Han asked the Prime Minister, "President Yoon said, 'It's my first time being president.' What is your opinion on this?" The Prime Minister replied, "I recall that former President Roh Moo-hyun once said, 'I really can't handle this,' when he felt that the policies he believed in could not progress well in the National Assembly environment."

Prime Minister Han added, "I think that early in a president's term, when the environment is different from what they are used to and their way of acting is not appropriate, they might say such things."

Rep. Han said, "Such remarks by the president leave the public dumbfounded. Although it is your first time as president, Prime Minister, this is your second time serving as prime minister. I hope you will coordinate well."
