President Yoon Seok-yeol officially rejected a proposal to dismiss Foreign Minister Park Jin, which was passed by the Democratic Party.

It was a sign of his will not to be dragged down by the opposition offensive, but it seems that the burden is high as the results of the opinion poll that the approval rate for state management has fallen to the lowest level.

On the evening of the 30th, a press notice was published in the name of Eun-hye Kim, Senior Public Relations Officer.



Kim said that while the National Assembly's proposal for dismissal was notified to the presidential office through the Ministry of Personnel Management, President Yoon Seok-yeol said that he did not accept the proposal for dismissal.



He was, in effect, professing his intention to exercise the veto.



Foreign Minister Park Jin also said he would listen to the opposition, but he could not agree with the 'diplomatic disaster' denigration.



[Park Jin/Minister of Foreign Affairs: Now is not the time to fight, but the time to think about the national interest.

I intend to devote all of my abilities and passion.]



Just one day after passing the dismissal bill, I clearly drew a line on the proposal for dismissal and showed my will not to be dragged on by the opposition offensive, but the low approval rating for state management is still a burden.



In a Gallup Korea poll released yesterday, President Yoon's approval rating for state affairs recorded 24%.



It is the lowest since the first week of August.



As the cause of the negative evaluation, it was analyzed that the 'controversy of profanity' that occurred during the tour, such as diplomacy at 17% and careless speech at 8%, had an impact.



A high-ranking official at the presidential office said, "Although the approval rating for state affairs has fallen more than expected, the president's expression of regret here may seem like yielding to the opposition," adding strength to the firm's stance.



However, given that there was only one case during the Park Geun-hye administration that did not accept the proposal for the dismissal of the State Council member in the constitutional history, it is uncertain whether the trend of public opinion can be reversed.
