South Korea President Lee Jae-myung’s Approval Falls to Record-Low 37%

A fourth consecutive weekly decline, landing at a record low since taking office, points to sustained erosion rather than a single-event dip — and the same-day apology from the Blue House suggests the administration itself reads the trend as serious. The domestic political backdrop matters for South Korea's crypto and digital-asset agenda, where executive direction often shapes tax and regulatory timing. Whether the slide stabilizes after the apology, or the political capital needed to push contested financial legislation continues to shrink, is the open question worth watching.
