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.

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.
