--------------------------------------------

● Resignation of Policy Chief Kim Yong-beom

Sung Han-yong / Senior Reporter at The Hankyoreh
"It seems there was considerable prior discussion within the Blue House regarding Kim Yong-beom staying in office"
"It appears President Lee could not make up his mind on replacing Kim Yong-beom until the very end"
"Additional personnel reshuffles in the Blue House and Cabinet are likely... we need to wait and see"

Heo Min / Senior Reporter at Munhwa Ilbo
"It seems neither President Lee nor Kim Yong-beom himself wanted a resignation until the end"
"Tensions between the ruling party and the Blue House appear to have had a decisive impact on the resignation decision"
"The Blue House's response regarding Kim Yong-beom's resignation is likely to be awkward"

● Abolition of the Plan to Reduce Basic Deductions for Comprehensive Real Estate Holding Tax on Non-Resident Single-Home Owners

Sung Han-yong / Senior Reporter at The Hankyoreh
"Even so, it is unlikely to pass the National Assembly... it will likely be tweaked through party-government consultations"

Heo Min / Senior Reporter at Munhwa Ilbo
"The right direction... policies should be changed instead of events like a cabinet reshuffle"
