Kim Youngrok Jeonnam Governor

"It is a tragic event that, for the first time in the history of the Republic of Korea's constitutional government, a president has been arrested."

Kim Yungrok, Governor of Jeonnam, made this assessment regarding the arrest of President Yoon Sukyeol during a directors' meeting on the 16th, emphasizing, "At times like this, public officials must be even more committed to fulfilling their own duties so that the nation can function properly."

Governor Kim further commented, "Especially after reading the president's handwritten letter, it seems that his perception of the situation is the same as that of the Taegeukgi Unit. I believe this is why such an outcome occurred."

He continued, "Now we must restore the constitutional order that has collapsed," and urged, "Public officials must each fulfill their roles from their respective positions so that the nation can properly function. Let us all join forces so that we can return to our proper places."
