?

[Reporter]
President Yoon Suk Yeol announced his position on the martial law crisis and how to stabilize the political situation in the future live for two minutes from 10 a.m.

This time, as in the last emergency decree declaration, only President Yoon attended and announced without reporters.
At the meeting
, President Yoon said, "The declaration of emergency martial law came out of desperation as the president who is the final person in charge of state affairs,

I apologized to the people, saying I am very sorry for causing anxiety and inconvenience to the people in the process.

I'll listen to it myself.

[Yoon Suk Yeol / President] We have caused anxiety and inconvenience to the people. We are very sorry and sincerely apologize to the people who must have been very surprised.

In response to concerns that martial law will be invoked again, he stressed that there will never be a second martial law and that he will not avoid the issue of legal and political responsibility related to the declaration of martial law.

He then promised that he would entrust the party with measures to stabilize the political situation in the future, including his term, and that the ruling party and the government would take responsibility for the operation of state affairs together.

Let's listen to this, too.

[Yoon Suk Yeol / President: My people, I will leave it up to our Party to take measures to stabilize the political situation in the future, including my term in office. In the future, our party and the government will take responsibility for the operation of state affairs together.

At the same time, he bowed down, saying, "I apologize again for causing concern to the people."

A senior presidential office official said, "I heard a lot of opinions and advice from inside and outside the party, including members of the People's Power, regarding President Yoon's statement today."

The presidential office is still cautious about minimizing contact with the media amid the emergency work system and not having a negative impact before voting on the impeachment bill of the National Assembly.

Today, we are also paying keen attention to how President Yoon's message will affect public sentiment and the impeachment vote.

So far, I'm YTN Cho Yong-sung in the presidential office in Yongsan.
