Kang's role is drawing more attention than ever at a time when pending issues such as the detention of Korean workers in Georgia and delayed tariff negotiations are piled up. In particular, the arrest of a Korean worker at the Hyundai-LG joint plant in Georgia, U.S., casts a long shadow over Korea-U.S. economic cooperation even after their safe return home, so his shoulders are heavy.
In Lee Jae-myung's administration, Kang Kyung-hwa, who was named ambassador to the U.S., another top diplomatic player, gave a cautious yet optimistic answer to host Sohn Suk-hee's question on various pending issues. As he served as foreign minister during Trump's first term, he is also a person who knows Trump better than anyone else. Regarding Trump, Kang said, `In the first term, U.S. President Trump listened to people around him, but in the second term, he seems to be much more free to make decisions based on his own judgment.' In response to this, host Son "Do you think it's that dogmatic?When asked ", Kang smiled and moved on, saying, `I'm going to be appointed as an ambassador soon, let's do that.'
Former Minister Kang Kyung-hwa's appearance was already announced at the beginning of Season 3 of 'Questions', but there was a possibility that it would be canceled at one point due to the sudden appointment of an ambassador to the U.S. For this reason, host Sohn Suk-hee briefly resented President Lee Jae-myung," he even joked. But Kang, who is also an avid viewer of `The Questions,' cannot break his promise when it has already been announced to viewers" showed a willingness to make the appearance eventually. In fact, he is known to have watched almost all episodes of 'Question' since season one.
When former Minister Kang appeared in the studio with his trademark white hairstyle when he was in office, he felt his own aura to the extent that the staff who were filling him with microphones said "My hands shook for the first time." At 9 p.m. on September 24th, MBC will see what the two people, who met as news anchors and the foreign minister in the past, will draw in the studio Question.
