Lee Jae-myung
President Lee Jae-myung lambasted a conservative YouTube channel's slush fund accusations against him as 'pathetic' and 'malicious' on March 19. The channel, run by Jeon Han-gil, aired an interview claiming Lee transferred 160 trillion won and military secrets to China. Lee called for severe punishment of the claims.

A recent poll indicates President Lee Jae-myung's approval rating has dropped to 57.1 percent, marking the first decline in six weeks. The fall is partly attributed to social debates over the fairness of government plans to merge major cities and provinces, as well as lowering the criminal punishment age. The ruling party's support also dipped, while the opposition saw a slight rise.
