Extremely rare!
On November 4, South Korean president Yoon Seok-hye made an absentee speech on the 2025 budget, which was read by Prime Minister Han Duk-soo at the Korean parliament.

Where’s Yoon? This has become a Korean media tracking an important topic.
There were even comments that the last time it was First Lady of South Korea Kim kyung-hee that “Disappeared”–
In mid-december, Kim 2023 Yoon on a Dutch tour. He did not appear in public for a long time until he disappeared for 153 days before returning to Earth in May.
Before Kim’s comeback, there was an anecdote. Kim was found to have taken part in early voting before the vote in South Korea’s parliamentary elections. The media have been tracking her, trying to find out where she voted, to determine where she is hiding.
This kind of peek-a-boo play appeared because Kim Jianxi was photographed receiving a famous brand bag in a hotel in the United States.

Is that a bribe? When people find out that she has taken a bag, has she actually taken a lot of bags?
Even if the media has since exposed its package of video, from someone deliberately take the bag temptation, and then shot posted on the Internet, at least this proves that”Flies do not stare at the seamless egg.”.
As a result, even after Kim’s return, or First Lady of South Korea, he can also travel with his husband, but from time to time will still be “Beaten.”. The opposition is not missing any opportunity to make an issue of her.
This makes Yin Xiyue overwhelmed.
Zero was said to have had a relationship with his wife, Kim Kin-hee, as the reason why Yoon did not appear at a related parliamentary meeting on November 4.
Even within the ruling National Power Party, there are various voices. National Power Party leader Han dong-hoon called on the same day yin xiyue on”Phone recording incident” to apologize to the people.

“Scandals such as the recording of phone calls have disappointed the nation, and as the head of the ruling party, I am responsible for this,” Han said, in an apparent reference to Yin.

Of course, as the speech, which was read by Han Duk-soo, shows, the opposition’s displeasure with Yoon and the Korean National Power Party goes far beyond Kim’s alleged corruption.
What’s more, Kim’s involvement in corruption now seems unlikely to go away
The Central District Public Prosecutors Office in Seoul issued a final ruling in early October on Kim’s alleged acceptance of designer handbags, “Ruling out” Kim as a suspect.
The opposition party commented on the situation of Yin’s administration
Lee jae-ming, head of the Democratic Party, said it was”Unacceptable” for yin to”Turn her back on her responsibilities as president”.
“Never before has a president so disregarded parliament and the people,” said park, the party’s whip.
Do not think that the opposition is opposed for the sake of opposition.
Before Han Duk-soo had even finished reading his manifesto, both Ms Yin and the National Power Party had their lowest approval ratings since the government was formed.
Global Times quoted Yonhap News Agency on October 4 reported that South Korean polling agency Realmeter released a poll results that day:
Yin Xiyue’s favorable rate of governance was 22.4% , down 2.2 percentage points from last week
The negative rating was 74.2% , up 2.8 percentage points from last week.

Even if Han Duk-soo could read Yoon’s emphasis on “Safeguarding South Korean national security” and “Promoting the four major reforms”, he added, military co-operation between North Korea and Russia poses a serious threat to South Korea’s security, and Seoul will draw up a strict response plan. But the opposition seems more concerned about where Yoon will lead South Korea next, or Yoon can give myself and his wife Kim Kyung-hee left a way out.
As for Han Duk-soo’s reading that “The government will also launch an extended deterrence system based on the Washington Declaration of Korea and the US last April, and realize the vision of a ‘global hub country’ through the korea-us Alliance and trilateral cooperation between Korea, the US and Japan”, listen — the opposition is more concerned about the upcoming U. S. presidential election.
Whether Donald Trump, the Republican candidate for president, or Harriss, the Democratic candidate, is elected, the fact remains that, according to their campaign, the next step in U. S. military policy will be changed, it is impossible to carry out the Biden line.
In particular, if Donald Trump were to return to the White House, domestic and foreign policy would have to change dramatically. Will it still make sense for Yoon’s government to read these visions of”Global hubs” in today’s South Korean parliament?
So why say it in the 2025 budget address when the future is so uncertain? What makes you think you can convince the Senate to approve this budget?

In uncle Hai’s opinion, even if the North Korean side, in the form of a white paper, claims that the two-and-a-half years Yoon has been in power, it is a continuous”Death gamble” that has turned the entire South Korea into a sacrifice for nuclear war, the threat to Ms Yin’s own political future remains modest.
What affected him most:
One for the domestic, whether the National Power Party, or the opposition party, there are people against him. It will make his life more difficult if he is opposed by both inside and outside the party!
The second is the presidential election of the United States. No matter who is elected, the next step is always to make various diplomatic adjustments. For the Republic of Korea, which lacks diplomatic independence, how to respond to the demands of Donald Trump or Harriss will further strain Yoon.
And whether the prosecutor-turned-yin can do a good job of self-examination ahead of time, so that their next step in the political road, in the South Korean presidency to do a good job, this is really a difficult question.
There was a feeling that he might still have time. It remains to be seen whether he can escape the fate of successive South Korean presidents and not be traced and prosecuted after he leaves office.
