[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] Hong Jun-pyo, Mayor of Daegu, publicly criticized the disclosure of President Yoon Seok-yeol's schedule through First Lady Kim Geon-hee's fan cafe on the 24th.

On the same day, Mayor Hong posted on his Facebook, stating, "Presidential events must be kept strictly confidential until just before the official announcement," adding, "The president's itinerary is no exception."

Earlier, the confidential schedule of President Yoon was revealed through the Facebook page 'Geonhee Sarang,' known as the First Lady's fan cafe. One user wrote, "Announcement: President Yoon Seok-yeol will visit Daegu Seomun Market at 12 PM on the 26th. Please attend and help promote this." Comments included the visit date, location, and even the gathering place.

Mayor Hong pointed out, "In my 26 years in politics and having served under many presidents, I have never once heard of a fan cafe for the First Lady," adding, "Until recently, a strange person claimed to be the president of the First Lady's fan cafe and gave all sorts of unsolicited advice to the political world, and now they are even revealing the president's itinerary in advance, which is absurd."

He continued, "Such cafes only distance President Yoon from the people and make the country's situation more difficult," warning, "Stop this and disband now."

Mayor Hong also summoned former party leader Lee Jun-seok, saying, "It is a funnier comedy than Lee calling himself Maximus."
