President Yoon Suk-yeol / Yonhap |
President Yoon Suk-yeol has decided not to travel to provincial regions for this week's vacation and will instead remain in Seoul to mull how to navigate through the current political turmoil, officials at the ruling party and the presidential office said Monday.
The decision came as Yoon's approval ratings have been unusually low ― below 30 percent in some surveys ― for a president less than three months in office, as the economic situation worsens and leadership turmoil deepens at the ruling People Power Party.
Yoon is taking five days off starting Monday for vacation.
"I understand that President Yoon and first lady have decided not to go down to the provinces during this vacation," said an official at the presidential office.
Another official said, "Under the current situation, vacation is not vacation."
