Lee says will increase engagement through live broadcasts, social media

President Lee Jae Myung announced on Wednesday his intention to boost public engagement through various channels, including live broadcasts, press coverage, on-site visits, and social media. He shared a news article on the X social platform, suggesting that he should interact more frequently with reporters covering the presidential office. The president agreed with the article's proposal, emphasizing his commitment to expanding live broadcasts, press contact, on-site visits, and social media presence.

President Lee has a history of leveraging social media to directly engage with the public, providing updates on his official activities, diplomatic engagements, and opinions on social issues. During a meeting with reporters on Monday, he described social media as his "lifeline," asserting that his presidency would not have been possible without its influence.

In a subsequent X post, Lee addressed opposition criticism regarding the attendance of prosecution and serious crime investigation chiefs as observers at Cabinet meetings. He defended their presence by citing a response from Gemini, a response to a question he had posed.
