Earlier, President Yoon held a meeting with his aides and urged, "The people are always unconditionally right. We must not make excuses in the face of any criticism," and "We need to go deeper into the field of public livelihood and take care of it."


After the luncheon, President Yoon and the party leadership took a walk together in the Yongsan Children's Garden in front of the Presidential Office. The luncheon event lasted about two and a half hours, during which they conversed with citizens who came out for a stroll, and President Yoon introduced various spots within the garden to the party leadership.



The day before, President Yoon also had dinner with key figures of the National Unity Committee and said, "National unity is not achieved by expertise alone; we must empathize with the actual difficulties." By refraining from ideological remarks and focusing on empathy, he delivered a 'national unity' message. In particular, President Yoon asked the ministers present at the scene to carefully read the recommendations of the National Unity Committee, saying, "I am confident that the activities and policy recommendations of our National Unity Committee have given me many insights. The Cabinet and I will reflect on how much these have been translated into policy execution."
