Prime Minister Suga, who is faced with a crisis due to the response to the North Korean coronavirus, has been put to rumors again due to frequent mistakes.
There is widespread awareness that the prime minister’s lack of qualities has largely caused the approval rating to fall to the half level in four months.
Correspondent Lee Kyung-ah reports from Tokyo.

Prime Minister Suga gives a speech to the municipal administration on the occasion of the opening of the first regular National Assembly after taking office.
The speech to the House of Representatives, which lasted about 40 minutes, ended safely, but it was different when speaking at the House of Representatives with the same content.
[스가 요시히데 / 일본 총리 : 효과적인 대처를 위해 한정적 대책을 시행하겠습니다. (웅성대는 소리) 철저한 대책을 시행하겠습니다.]
The mistake wasn’t once.
It’s not an instant speech, it’s at the level of reading an already-finished manuscript, but it’s a series of mistakes.
[스가 요시히데 / 일본 총리 : 생산과 육아의 부담이…아… 출산과 육아의 부담이]
At the time of the announcement of the expansion of the emergency situation, there was confusion among reporters asking if the region was changed due to incorrect reading of the place name.
The problem continues even at the press conference, where questions are informed in advance.
This is because it is difficult to find scenes that describe in their own words only to read the answers based on prepared documents.
At the Prime Minister’s residence, there is a strong indication that the press conference will not be held long.
[총리 관저 기자회견 사회자 (지난 13일) : 죄송합니다만 다음 일정이 있기 때문에…지금 손든 분들은 각각 1문항씩 이메일로 질문 보내주시기 바랍니다.]
In a recent poll, close to 40% of respondents said that the reason for disapproval of the Suga cabinet is that they do not have the prime minister’s leadership and are unbelievable.
He says that many of the reasons for the current cabinet’s crisis are attributed to the Prime Minister’s own qualifications.
[에다노 유키오 / 입헌민주당 대표 : (세계적인 위기에 직면해) 많은 나라의 리더들은 선두에 서서 국민에게 직접 설명하고 있습니다. 총리에게 이런 리더로서의 자각이 부족하다는 것이 대단히 유감입니다.]
Prime Minister Suga, who had risen to the peak of power without a hereditary or faction, and garnered high approval ratings, is struggling in the face of cold public opinion in just four months.
