Regarding the profanity controversy that led to the proposal to dismiss the foreign minister, the presidential office said that the Biden part was fake news and the profanity was not clear.

First of all, it means that you are not going to apologize or express any regrets.

The costly confrontation could be longer.

On the way to work in the morning, President Yoon Seok-yeol passed by without answering a question about whether he would express his regrets over the controversy over profanity.



[President Yoon Seok-yeol: (Do you have any intention of expressing regret as to whether the slang controversy is going to be this long?) …

In the presidential office, Chief of Staff Kim Dae-gi gave a briefing in person, clarifying the stance of a hardline response.



Director Kim first targeted the MBC report and defined it as 'fake news'.



President Yoon did not say "Biden", but he reported it as 'Biden' without confirmation, and took issue with the expression 'USA' in parentheses before 'Congress'.



He continued, "Right now, MBC has not announced any position at all, so it will take some time." He said, "We think that fake news should never happen again, and we will go until it is secured."



It is interpreted to mean that they will not back down for a while and wait for MBC's apology.



Director Kim said, "It's unclear" about the first part of the controversial remarks about the use of profanity.



Because it was a natural story, President Yoon himself said that it is difficult to remember and he is still quite confused, and insisted that if the noise and noise are removed, profanity will not be heard.



At least in relation to profanity, he drew a line on the opinion in the passport that he should express regret, and he took the position that there was virtually no problem in the entire statement.



The Democratic Party criticized that it would be an ax in the foot and that an apology as early as a day would be the better option.
