Kang Yoo-jung, senior presidential spokesperson, stated in a briefing that President Lee made the remarks after Mayor Oh—who attended the cabinet meeting presided over by the President at the Blue House—brought up the easing of regulations concerning floor area ratios, restrictions on the transfer of cooperative member status, and rental housing ratios.

Cheong Wa Dae Asks Justice Minister Jung Sung-ho to Keep Working Until Successor Is Appointed Regarding Justice Minister Jung Sung-ho submitting his resignation, Cheong Wa Dae stated, "Minister Jung has faithfully fulfilled his duties in response to the public's demands," adding, "We have asked him to continue fulfilling his role until follow-up personnel measures and other steps are taken." During a briefing on the 18th, Senior Presidential Spokesperson Kang Yu-jung answered questions regarding Minister Jung's resignation by saying, "Minister Jung requested to be relieved of his duties due to health reasons." This message shows a somewhat different tone compared to the stance Cheong Wa Dae took last month when reports surfaced about Minister Jung's intention to resign, at which time it stated, "No official expression of resignation has been confirmed, and therefore the reports are not true." Some analysts are suggesting that President Lee Jae-myung has effectively decided to accept Minister Jung's resignation. SBS Aug 18, 2026 5:29 PM
