President Lee Jae Myung will hold a press conference Monday at Cheong Wa Dae in Seoul to present his administration's vision and policy goals for the second year of his term. Around 160 journalists from local and foreign outlets are scheduled to attend.
The event carries the slogan "The Irreplaceable Republic of Korea," which Lee's office said reflects the president's aim to make South Korea indispensable to the world.
The press conference will be Lee's fourth since he took office on June 4, 2025, after former President Yoon Suk Yeol was ousted over his failed martial law bid. Lee plans to review the first year of his administration and set out key tasks for the year ahead, including four major goals, according to Cheong Wa Dae.
The agenda will address three major areas: the economy, politics and diplomacy, and social and cultural issues, a senior presidential official said.
Lee last held a press conference at Cheong Wa Dae on January 21, 2026, for the new year. Yonhap reported that his ruling party recently scored a landslide victory in local elections, giving him a stronger mandate ahead of the second-year agenda.
