The Presidential Office stated on the 12th, "We will work closely with the ruling party to create and implement livelihood policies that meet the public's expectations and genuinely improve their lives."

Kim Su-kyung, spokesperson for the Presidential Office, said during a meeting with reporters at the Yongsan Presidential Office briefing room that afternoon, "The policy direction of the Yoon Suk-yeol administration will focus on livelihood and communication with the public, as announced in a recent press conference."

As the Presidential Office marks the third year of national governance, having recently finalized the third-term appointments including the Chief of Staff, Senior Secretary for Political Affairs, and Senior Secretary for Civil Affairs, and with the People Power Party also establishing a new emergency committee chairman, Hwang Woo-yeo, and new floor leader, Chu Kyung-ho, it is interpreted that the party, government, and presidency will cooperate to actively focus on 'taking care of livelihoods.'

Spokesperson Kim emphasized, "First, the Presidential Office will make every effort to stabilize prices through the Livelihood Price Task Force (TF). We will continuously monitor prices and focus on structural aspects of prices, such as improvements in distribution and trade structures, to stabilize prices overall."

He continued, "Through the Strategic Industry TF, we will ensure that industries playing a key role in exports continue to develop and achieve favorable export performance. To this end, we will strengthen investment and infrastructure support so that the benefits can spread to secondary and tertiary partner companies, thereby spreading warmth throughout the economy."

Spokesperson Kim added, "Next week, we will resume livelihood forums where the President will directly listen to the difficulties of the people and seek ways to improve them. We also plan to hold the National Integration Committee performance report meeting and the National Fiscal Strategy Meeting to resolve pressing social issues and discuss strategies to genuinely improve the lives of the people."

He added, "Going forward, the Yoon Suk-yeol administration will focus solely on the people and devote itself to livelihoods rather than political strife."

The Presidential Office, government, and People Power Party also held a private high-level consultation meeting at the Prime Minister’s residence in Samcheong-dong that afternoon to discuss major issues. Attendees included Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, Presidential Chief of Staff Jeong Jin-seok, Emergency Committee Chairman Hwang Woo-yeo, and Floor Leader Chu Kyung-ho.

A Presidential Office official explained, "With the new staff formed in Yongsan and the party’s new leadership established, this was a party-government meeting with a strong introductory character."
