Yoon: "One Year of Breathless Running for a New Nation, I Will Only Look to the People"

Sharing Reflections on One Year Since Inauguration on Instagram
Lunch with Aides, Cabinet Members, and Ruling Party Leadership

President Yoon Suk-yeol stated on the 10th, "It has been a breathless year running to create a new nation for the people," adding, "I will continue to work focusing only on the people."

On the morning of the day, President Yoon posted this message on his Instagram to mark the first anniversary of his inauguration. Along with President Yoon's message, a 2-minute 40-second video reflecting on the first year since his inauguration was released, featuring the phrase, "Together with the great people, we will build a country of freedom and innovation."

On this day, President Yoon is scheduled to have lunch with Cabinet members, ruling party leaders, and presidential office aides to deliver a message urging the promotion of government tasks. Considering that he instructed Cabinet members the previous day to "take bold personnel actions if they do not align with the new government policy or take ambiguous stances," there is a possibility that additional messages regarding strengthening public service discipline will be conveyed.

President Yoon also plans to personally oversee the Cabinet meeting next week to present the direction for the second year of government administration. Since the previous Cabinet meeting dealt with the evaluation of diplomatic achievements, it is expected that the meeting on the 16th will continue with evaluations of the economic and social sectors, excluding diplomatic achievements.

Meanwhile, the presidential office held a small commemorative photo exhibition at the Yongsan office building on the same day. About 20 photos capturing moments since President Yoon’s inauguration were displayed, including his inauguration ceremony, driving a tractor, inviting a Cambodian boy named Rota to the presidential office where President Yoon was seen juggling a soccer ball, visiting the Jincheon athlete village for a sports vision briefing, aiming with a bow and arrow, delivering a joint address to the U.S. Congress, and dining with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.

Photos of President Yoon’s major achievements were also exhibited, including the inauguration ceremony with the people, the elevation of the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs, luncheons with military personnel and defense export strategy meetings, emergency economic and livelihood meetings, the train trip to Davos, the official welcome ceremony for the state visit to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), a luncheon with Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, and the official welcome ceremony for the state visit to the United States. A presidential office official explained regarding the exhibition, "The exhibition commemorates the first anniversary by showcasing President Yoon’s major activities and aims to unite the staff to continue doing well in the future."
