Lee vows to communicate more directly with public: official

President Lee Jae Myung has pledged to communicate more directly and actively with the public, a presidential official revealed on Sunday. The remarks were made during Lee's return journey to Seoul after his state visit to Mexico, as reported by senior presidential secretary for public relations and communication, Seong Ghi-hong.

Lee emphasized that his goal is not merely to engage in social media politics, but to bridge the gap between the public and the presidency through dialogue and communication, according to Seong, who shared the president's sentiments on X. Seong clarified that social media is just one of several avenues for reaching out to the public.

In recent times, Lee has ramped up his social media presence by sharing his perspectives on various topics, including politics, diplomacy, and real estate, which has raised concerns among some about the frequency of his posts.

Despite facing criticism over his social media outreach, Lee reaffirmed on Saturday in an X post that he would continue to engage with the public through social media, even if it means facing scrutiny over the perceived lack of depth in his communication efforts.
