Representative 'the'

1. He is good at talking around the issue.
2. The lion is the king of the animal.

I'd like to know if "the" of "the issue" indicates representative in #1 as in #2.
Thank you in advance for your help.

park sang joon I'd like to know if "the" of "the issue" indicates representative in #1 as in #2. Oh, I suppose it could be, but I would expect 'an' there. When I read it first, I expected that a specific issue was being referred to.
