President Lee Jae Myung has been organizing golf outings with senior lawmakers from the main opposition People Power Party (PPP), according to sources. The meetings are seen as an attempt to engage in dialogue with the opposition party. Lee played golf with Rep. Joo Ho-young, a six-term representative from Daegu and a former deputy speaker, as well as four-term Rep. Park Duk-hyum, who currently serves as deputy speaker.
All assembly speakers and deputy speakers from both halves of the current Assembly were invited to these golf outings. Assembly Speaker Cho Jeong-sik reportedly attended one of the rounds, while former Speaker Woo Won-shik declined, citing lack of interest in golf. The lawmakers reportedly discussed regional matters, such as the necessity of advancing integration between Daegu and North Gyeongsang Province.
In a press conference marking his first year in office, Lee stated that further administrative actions would depend on productive discussions with the opposition.
