The presidential office said it will consider establishing a separate office to manage the first lady’s activities.

A senior official at the top office told reporters on Friday that while the administration had not set up the office as part of a campaign pledge by the president, it will be reviewed upon support from a majority of the public.

As for appointing a special inspector tasked with investigating corruption among the president's family members, the official reiterated that such an appointment would require a recommendation from both the ruling and opposition parties.

The official said the ruling People Power Party stands by its previous commitment to cooperation on recommending a candidate for the role should the main opposition Democratic Party cooperate to recommend a head for a foundation on North Korea’s human rights.

The official added that consideration of the two matters is not related to a set of bills on special counsel probes into the so-called "Five Billion Won Club" in the Daejang-dong development scandal and First Lady Kim Keon-hee's alleged stock manipulation, which were vetoed by President Yoon Suk Yeol.
