The event will include a question-and-answer session with journalists covering key policy areas such as the economy, politics, foreign affairs and security as well as society and culture.
“President Lee will use the press conference to highlight the early stabilization of his administration, which launched without a formal transition team, and to actively communicate his vision for state affairs and key policies moving forward,” Kang said.
“In line with the goal of engaging more directly with the press, the event will be held in a town hall-style format,” she added.
