The South Korean President Lee Jae-myung stated that he should apologize to North Korea for the order given by his predecessor, Yoon Suk-yeol, to send drones and propaganda leaflets across the border. Lee acknowledged that this gesture could be used against him in ideological battles, given the tense political context. Yoon Suk-yeol has been accused of conspiracy to justify the declaration of martial law, which was quickly repealed by the National Assembly.

Lee emphasized that South Korea has overcome an unprecedented crisis for democracy, but the country remains polarized and faces economic challenges and threats from North Korea. He also discussed international relations, highlighting the need for a balanced coexistence between Japan and China.
