“It only becomes more meaningful after being whipped by my mother…” “Reflect and worry”
Regarding the ruling party’s crushing defeat in the April 13 general election, President Yoon Seok-yeol said on the 16th, “I am sorry that the president has not been able to carefully consider and honor the will of the people.”
After delivering a live broadcast message to the public regarding the crushing defeat in the general election at the Cabinet meeting on this day, President Yoon said, “I am sorry to the people,” in a closed-door closing speech left to only the State Council members. “Above all, I am sorry for not being able to properly consider and accept the will of the people, starting with the President.” A high-ranking official of the President’s Office told reporters at the Yongsan Government Complex after the cabinet meeting that day.
He continued, “On the one hand, the election results are an evaluation of the party’s election campaign, but on the other hand, they are an evaluation of the government’s management of state affairs by the people,” and added, “I accept this as a harsh evaluation.”
President Yoon said, “The essence of that harsh evaluation is to communicate more,” and “I said I would do anything for the people, and that there is nothing I wouldn’t do for the people.” At the same time, he repeatedly emphasized to the State Council members to further strengthen communication.
This official linked public sentiment in the general election with the cane, saying, “If you do something wrong to your mother as a child and get caned, it hurts, so you can ask for forgiveness to avoid it at that moment, but if you reflect on what you did wrong and what you will do in the future while being caned, you will receive the love your mother gives you.” “Isn’t the meaning of the cane greater? In the end, (President Yoon) emphasized that how well we conduct politics for the people is what we need to think about while being caned by the people.”
In addition, in response to the point that there was a temperature difference between President Yoon’s opening and closing remarks at the Cabinet meeting (which fell short of the people’s expectations, but did his best), he said, “Because it was a meeting with the State Council members, it also serves as a message to the ministers.” “It can be understood that his remarks were focused on the aspect of running state affairs,” he said.
He continued, “I will tell you that in the future, there will be more opportunities for communication beyond just cabinet meetings, and we will be able to communicate with the people with better content in accordance with that format.”
