Hong Jun-pyo: "Yoon's Stop to Doorstepping Is a Good Decision... The President's Words Should Be as Weighty as Mount Taesan"
[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Hong Joon-pyo, Mayor of Daegu and Standing Advisor of the People Power Party, evaluated President Yoon Suk-yeol's decision to stop doorstepping on the 21st as "a belated but very well-made decision."
On the same day, Mayor Hong said through his social network service (SNS), "It started with confidence in the president's ability to govern, but it was inappropriate for the president, who makes the final decision, to announce conclusions in advance every day."
That morning, the presidential office announced the decision to stop doorstepping, referring to the MBC reporter's protest as an "unfortunate incident."
