As the basis for this proposal, the Ministry cited the results of a public deliberation process involving 212 citizens. The results showed that support for conditionally lowering the age threshold rose slightly from 45.8% before the deliberation to 46.7% afterward. When asked what the new age should be, the most common response was to lower it by one year to under 13, at 5.8%. After receiving the report, President Lee Jae-myung stated that while the age threshold should indeed be lowered, a final decision should not be made today, suggesting further collection of public opinion and additional polling.
