The presidential office is maintaining a restrained public response towards Representative Han Dong-hoon, who has been raising his voice against President Yoon.

However, regarding the mention from Han's side that the content of their meeting was altered, the office expressed discomfort, saying "Please let us know which parts were distorted."

In response to the controversy over the seating arrangement and protocol neglect, they countered, "There was no such intention at all," calling it "a distorted interpretation that strays from the essence."

They further stated, "In this serious political situation, the party and government must unite to overcome difficulties," indicating that conflicts between the party and government should not escalate.

They reaffirmed their current stance on the Special Inspector, stating that they would appoint someone if both parties reach an agreement, distancing themselves from the issue, saying it should be resolved within the party.

President Yoon visited Beomeosa Temple in Busan yesterday and mentioned, "Even if stones are thrown at me, I won't hestitate and continue going my way."

This has led to interpretations that he is signaling his intent to confront the conflict with Representative Han directly.
