President Moon Jae-in’s New Year’s press conference will be held on the 18th. ‘Super sensitive questions’ such as’What is your position on the special pardon of former Presidents Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye’ pours out in front of President Moon for 100 minutes. In light of the fact that he has been actively responding to public sentiment and public opinion this year, such as apologizing for the real estate issue for the first time since taking office, the observation that he will communicate with the people in a way that reveals a relatively clear position rather than a fundamental level of answer is observed inside and outside the Blue House.

According to the Blue House on the 17th, President Moon did not carry out a separate disclosure schedule during the weekend before the press conference. It seems that the final inspection was based on the’expected questionnaire’. President Moon does not know in advance what questions reporters will ask, but the staff gathered up the’possible’ questions and reported them in advance. An official at the Blue House said, “President Moon is very well aware of the current issue. I think he has finished thinking about how to respond.”
Summarizing the words inside and outside the Blue House, the predicted questionnaire, which can be called a kind of’genealogy’, contained a number of sensitive issues. ‘What kind of discussions went on with President Moon during the disciplinary process of Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, led by Justice Minister Chu Mi-ae?’ As interest in the introduction and vaccination of a novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) vaccine has grown, it is highly likely that questions about President Moon’s vaccination plan have also been included.
Although the staff prepared a’best answer,’ it is said that it seems unlikely that President Moon will repeat it. Another Blue House official said, “In the light of past cases, President Moon is not a person who reads the’prepared answer’ as it is.” Particularly inside the Blue House, the observation that “It is likely that President Moon will take a clear position and attitude on various issues, even if there is a controversy,” a heavy observation flows. The recent change of the Blue House’s stance to’let’s communicate more and respond more sensitively to the voices of the people’ is also expected to be evident at President Moon’s press conference.

This press conference will be held for the first time after taking office in an online and offline manner. Considering the Corona 19 situation, the number of reporters facing President Moon is limited to 20. Another 100 reporters meet with President Moon over simultaneous Internet connections. As a result, the Blue House was busy throughout the weekend trying to take care of whether the Internet connection was smooth and there were no defects in video and audio so that the’LAN line press conference’ could be held without any problems. The Blue House conducts a total of four rehearsals over three days, and rehearsals are scheduled for two hours before the press conference.
