[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Dong-joo] President Yoon Seok-yeol is delivering the budget address for next year at the National Assembly plenary session on the 25th.

The Democratic Party of Korea fully boycotted the budget address, citing the prosecution's search of the central party office related to Lee Jae-myung's presidential campaign funds and the party's harsh remarks toward the National Assembly. This is the first time in constitutional history that a president's budget address has been boycotted.

The People Power Party responded with 19 rounds of applause during the 18-minute speech by President Yoon.
