As you said, the first meeting between President Moon Jae-in and President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol, scheduled for today, has been canceled.
The Blue House made a similar position through a written briefing, and Yoon’s side in the morning briefing.
The official position of both sides is that “the practical consultation has not been completed, so we have decided to reschedule the schedule.”
In response to the question of which party requested the postponement, Yoon-elect said, “It is difficult to say either side because it is the result of mutual working-level considerations.”
At this meeting, which was expected to take place without an attendee, there has been speculation that it will be discussed in detail, including a proposal for amnesty by former President Lee Myung-bak and President Moon’s exercise of personnel rights in public institutions.
However, as differences in positions on these issues were revealed in advance, subtle air currents from both sides have been detected.
It is interpreted that the Blue House may feel uncomfortable with the fact that President-elect Yoon’s side would suggest a request for a pardon for former President Lee Myung-bak, and that the president’s exclusive right to amnesty would be denigrated as a means of political transaction.
On the other hand, the president-elect Yoon’s side expressed a stance against the Moon Jae-in administration’s new personnel appointments within the term.
Kwon Young-se, the vice chairman of the Presidential Transition Committee, who was elected president, appeared on a broadcast the day before and remarked, “Politically appointed employees need to think about their own destiny” in relation to public institutions and public corporations.
Therefore, although the superficial reason is that the coordination of the agenda has not been finalized, there is an analysis that the fight between the two sides is escalating from the stage of setting the agenda to be put on the discussion table.

i See. Is there any response from the Democrats to this?
[기자]
In Democrats, lawmakers are taking their stand individually.
Rep. Yoon Geon-young criticized “Professor Kim Tae-hyo, who was appointed as a foreign and security member of the transition committee, as an icon of the failed inter-Korean relations of the Lee Myung-bak administration.”
Even when Rep. Kwon Seong-dong mentioned the fate of Prosecutor General Kim Oh-soo, lawmakers Jo Jung-sik and Park Kwang-on joined the ranks of criticism as ‘printing the opposition’ and ‘remarks to be very careful about’.
Yun Ho-jung, chairman of the Democratic Party’s emergency response committee, made a statement regarding the abolition of the presidential office of President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol.
“The issue of reorganization of the Blue House is the responsibility of the next government, so the idea of entrusting personnel verification to the Ministry of Justice is very worrisome,” he said.
The non-captain of the Democratic Party visited Gwangju today, paid a visit to the May 18 Democratic Cemetery, and promised changes in relation to the loss of the presidential election, saying, “I couldn’t properly respond to the support of Honam.”
However, confusion continues, such as the decision to demand the resignation of Vice Chairman Yoon at the ‘Better Future’, a meeting of members from the ’86 Group’.
