President Lee Jae-myung experiences being a video journalist with a camera in hand
President Lee Jae-myung has continued his efforts to communicate with the press members at the presidential office, attracting attention by personally holding a camera and experiencing being a video journalist.
On the 12th, President Lee visited the photo and video journalist rooms at the presidential office in Yongsan, Seoul, to encourage the press members. He even participated in hands-on video shooting experiences.
A video released by JTBC captured President Lee holding an ENG camera while filming spokesperson Kang Yu-jung in a friendly atmosphere.
After receiving the approximately 7-8 kg ENG camera, President Lee learned how to operate it from a JTBC video journalist.

In the video President Lee shot that day, he attempted zooming in and panning techniques.
Seeing this, both the journalists and spokesperson Kang Yu-jung burst into laughter.
It is very rare to see a president handling a camera personally.
Casual conversation with the press in the cafeteria… "Communication efforts" in focus
Meanwhile, President Lee has met with the press members at the presidential office for three consecutive days starting from the 10th.
On the 10th, he had an unplanned conversation with the journalists in the cafeteria, and on the 11th, he shared a meal with them in the cafeteria.
Such actions by President Lee are interpreted as efforts to share his governance direction through proactive communication with the media and to narrow the distance with the public since his inauguration.
In particular, unlike previous presidents, his natural interaction and communication with the journalists in informal settings show a differentiated media policy compared to previous administrations.
