Today, we will be joined by two commentators, Choi Soo-young and Kim Jun-il. Welcome, both of you. I think I should start with the breaking news that came out a little while ago. It has been reported that President Yoon Seok-yeol will hold a national address and press conference on the 7th. It is expected that he will answer questions about the Kim Kun-hee issue and the Myeong Tae-gyun suspicions, but it has been brought forward much earlier than originally expected, right? [Choi Soo-young] I fully understand the response of the Blue House, and I think they strategically decided that the president's message should come out early. This is because in politics, there is a warning that space can be recovered, but time that has passed cannot be recovered. This story is about politics being a battle of the flow, so if you miss or lose the flow once, it is difficult to recover. I won’t mention other opinion polls, but if we just talk about Gallup, it already fell to the 10% range last week, 19%. This means that downward rigidity has collapsed, and breaking through the 20% mark again means that the psychological Maginot Line has collapsed, so I think it should be accepted as a very important mechanism. In this situation, even within the ruling party, there are calls for reform. And even in November, the US presidential election is tomorrow. And on the 11th, there is an important vote to elect the Japanese prime minister. And right now, the issue of North Korea’s deployment of troops in the Ukraine situation may have a negative impact. And right now, there are the presidential diplomatic schedule, the G20, and other things in between, and there are two first-trial verdicts for Representative Lee Jae-myung. November is a truly turbulent time, and there is a high possibility that a kind of tsunami, anomie, will form where you can’t see even an inch ahead. But the president is currently organizing all diplomatic schedules and announcing a comprehensive position around the end of this month? If three weeks pass, there may be something that cannot be handled, so the president will quickly resolve this situation with a message. I think this is a very flexible and very current decision. [Anchor] As you just said, for your information, there are diplomatic schedules lined up right now. Next week, the APEC summit is in Peru, and right after that, the G20 summit is in Brazil. So after all of that, there was talk about this at the end of this month. [Kim Jun-il] They were very complacent about domestic issues. So they recently said that the clock in Yongsan is ticking slowly. So the people are dying of hunger right now, but Representative Han Dong-hoon is moving even slower than that, and Yongsan is moving even slower than that. So, as critic Choi Soo-young said earlier, they are considering a format of dialogue with the people by summarizing this at the end of the month. But is the current situation that complacent? Chief Secretary Jeong Jin-seok appeared before the National Assembly Steering Committee last Friday and gave some very easygoing answers about his approval rating. The title of the Dong-A Ilbo editorial column today is Yongsan's amazing mental victory. Chief Secretary Jeong Jin-seok said to the Dong-A Ilbo that the difference was only 20% or 19%. He said something like that. He was that easygoing, but he got criticized so much. I still praise him for this. I think the president decided that it would be right to respond quickly, but the problem is...
