, ‘According to the ruling party, President Yoon and Leader Han met for over an hour at the Presidential Office on that day. This meeting comes six days after the dinner meeting between President Yoon and the newly appointed leadership of the People Power Party on the 24th.’,
,
, ‘It is said that this meeting was led by Chief of Staff Chung Jin-seok of the President’s Office. The meeting was conducted secretly to the extent that only a handful of people in the Presidential Office knew about it. It was reported that even on the day of the meeting, only Chief of Staff Chung was absent, and the conversation proceeded at a high level.’,
,
, ‘President Yoon and Leader Han are known to have shared the importance of maintaining the alliance between the government and the opposition. It is said that during this process, the conversation also touched on their time working together in the prosecution. It is likely that they also discussed current political issues such as the establishment of the Second Auxiliary Office, the appointment of candidates for the chairmanship of the Korea Communications Commission, and the opposition’s push for a special prosecutor’s law.’,
,
, ‘It is common knowledge that there has been a strained relationship between Leader Han and the Presidential Office during the general election process. However, after the congress, both the government and the opposition are sending a message of reconciliation. The Presidential Office decided on the 30th to establish a Second Auxiliary Office to assist the president’s spouse, which seems to be accepting Leader Han’s pledge made during the congress process to revive the Second Auxiliary Office. President Yoon also emphasized at the dinner on the 24th, “We need to work together in the future and support our Leader Han Dong-hoon well” and said, “Don’t try to solve difficult issues on your own, but ask for help from those around you.”’,
