Lee Jae Myung says intense overseas trips look like leisure only to critics

Briefing by News4U · First published

Today Lee Jae Myung said on X that for people who treat presidential overseas trips as photo ops and easy drinking, shopping or tourism without real work or preparation, even visits with heavy advance work, long flights, nonstop official schedules, frequent IV drips and nosebleeds can look like sightseeing. The South Korean president said differences in trip intensity and results between current and former presidents are better known to the accompanying press corps, and that people see only as much as they understand.
