President Yoon Seok-yeol's overseas tour ended three days ago, but the controversy left by the tour led to a head-on collision.

First, the Democratic Party proposed a proposal for the dismissal of Foreign Minister Park Jin as a party argument.

The strategy is to put pressure on the president until the next day (29th) at the plenary session to vote.

The Democratic Party has proposed a proposal for the dismissal of Foreign Minister Park Jin in the name of all 169 lawmakers.



[Park Hong-geun / Democratic Party floor leader: If we do not properly reprimand, the dignity of the Republic of Korea will fall to the ground and relations with our allies will be difficult to restore.]



The five-night, seven-day tour diplomacy has resulted in damage to national dignity and damage to national interests. The minister in charge should be held accountable for what ended in a diplomatic catastrophe.

Regarding the controversy over the profane remarks, President Yoon's explanation of "damaging the alliance with reports that are different from the facts" also took issue.

[Lee Jae- myung



/ Democratic Party Representative: In order to find out the truth, it would be normal for the person who spoke to say, 'I said something, but it is being widely known.]



It is decided by a majority of the motion and a majority of the votes.



The Democratic Party is in the position of holding a vote at the plenary session the next day.



However, it is not legally binding if the president rejects it as it is literally a 'proposal for dismissal'.



Nevertheless, the Democratic Party's push for this seems to be a strategy to place a political burden on President Yoon.



Foreign Minister Park Jin, who is a party to the party, said he would do his best without wavering.



[Park Jin/Minister of Foreign Affairs: It is truly regrettable that even diplomacy, the most important line of national interest, is being treated as a subject of political conflict.]



Media organizations such as the Korea Journalists Association held a joint press conference and said, “The president blames the media for the incident. "I demanded that the president directly apologize to the people first."
