The core atmosphere of the press conference is defined by the concepts of "Light, Path, and Korea." "Light" represents the democracy that the people have preserved through numerous crises, while "Path" embodies the resolve to carve out new roads alongside the people when facing national challenges, even if those paths do not yet exist. "Korea" symbolizes the ambition for our nation's challenges to set new global standards and serve as a model for the future.



More than 160 domestic and international journalists will attend the press conference, which will last approximately 100 minutes. Journalists will be able to ask questions freely, without a predetermined script, either being chosen by the moderator or directly by the President, and President Lee will respond in real time. In addition, two university students—winners of the SisaIN University Journalism Award and the Korea Press Foundation University Media Award—will participate to raise questions about the concerns and tasks facing the younger generation.
