President Moon Jae-in will not be holding a New Year's press conference.
This is so he can focus on dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.
The South Korean leader's senior secretary for public communications told reporters that such an event will be difficult as Omicron has become the dominant strain.
The top office was initially arranging a presser this week following Moon's trip to the Middle East and North Africa.
