President Yoon Seok-yeol met with reporters on the way to work and exchanged questions and answers, and decided to temporarily suspend the conversation.

This is because the corona virus is spreading among the presidential office staff and reporters.

The presidential office said that it would do it again when the corona situation improves, but the SBS poll showed that it should continue, but it exceeded 50%.



Reporter Park Won-kyung will tell you about this.
