  "summary": "President Lee Jae Myung has attempted to quell speculation about his potential reelection by emphasizing that his term is constitutionally limited. However, his remarks did not fully dispel the criticism, as the main opposition party has called for an explicit denial of any intention to seek another term. During his state visit to France, the president explained his rationale for multiple overseas trips, stating that capitalizing on international relations is limited and early summit diplomacy is necessary to maximize benefits.",
