President Lee Jae Myung vows to communicate more directly and actively with the public, a presidential official says. Lee makes the remarks during his flight back to Seoul after a state visit to Mexico in late September, according to Seong Ghi-hong, senior presidential secretary for public relations and communication. The official says Lee emphasizes dialogue that narrows the gap between the public and the president and lowers barriers between state affairs and everyday people.
Several outlets note that Lee has recently increased his social media posting on political, diplomatic, and real estate-related issues, drawing concern from some observers about how frequently he posts and whether social media outreach lacks substance. The official responds that while social media is one channel, the president’s goal is broader communication beyond platforms. The Korea Times reports Lee says he will continue using social media to communicate despite criticism.
