Regarding the recent downward trend in President Lee Jae-myung's approval ratings, Cheong Wa Dae stated that it is "carefully examining whether there were any shortcomings in the management of state affairs."

A Cheong Wa Dae official said in response to a reporter's question today (August 13), "Naturally, we are closely monitoring the approval ratings."

The official added, "We are well aware of the public's high anxiety and concern regarding housing stability and the real estate market. As measures were announced today and are being discussed, we will provide answers through tangible results."

Furthermore, the official emphasized, "Fundamentally, improving the lives of the public and producing results in people's livelihoods and the economy will likely be the fundamental criteria upon which the public evaluates us, and we will focus on livelihoods and the economy."
