President Lee to hold first press conference on Thursday

President Lee Jae Myung will hold his first press conference on Thursday to mark one month in office.

According to Presidential Spokesperson Kang Yu-jung, the event will be held as a town hall meeting for closer communication with more reporters.

The Q&A sessions will cover key issues, including the economy, politics, diplomacy, and culture.

While former presidents typically held their first press conferences around the 1-hundred-day-mark, Kang said Thursday's event was scheduled earlier to explain the new administration's policy direction and priorities, as it began without a transition committee.

It will start at 10 AM, though the venue has yet to be announced.
