Lee reportedly holds golf outings with senior opposition lawmakers

President Lee Jae Myung has been organizing golf outings with senior members of the main opposition People Power Party (PPP), according to sources. These meetings took place in June with two senior PPP lawmakers, Rep. Joo Ho-young and Rep. Park Duk-hyum, who serve as the deputy speaker. All speakers and deputy speakers from both halves of the current Assembly were invited, with both the first and second Assembly speakers reportedly attending the golf round.

The lawmakers discussed regional matters, such as the necessity of advancing the integration between Daegu and North Gyeongsang Province. In June, during the press conference marking his first year in office, President Lee emphasized the importance of further administrative reforms.
