President Lee Jae Myung will hold a formal press conference next week to mark 100 days in office, the presidential office said Wednesday.

The press conference, scheduled for September 11, will address a broad range of topics, including livelihoods, the economy, politics, diplomacy and security, society, and culture, Lee Kyu-yeon, presidential secretary for public relations and communication, told reporters.

"President Lee will explain the government's policy direction for growth through the conference," Lee said.

It will be Lee's second official press conference, following the first on June 3, which marked 30 days in office.
