Lee to hold press conference to mark 30 days in office

Yonhap

SEOUL, June 30 (AJP) - President Lee Jae-myung will hold his first press conference later this week to mark his first full month in office, presidential spokesperson Kang Yu-jung said on Monday.

The conference, slated to take place at 10 a.m. on Thursday, will allow Lee to outline his key policies while discussing a wide range of issues in a town-hall setting which includes an interactive Q&A session with journalists.

Meanwhile, according to a recent survey of over 2,500 voters by pollster Realmeter released earlier in the day, Lee's approval rating stood at nearly 60 percent last week, less than a month into his presidency.

The figure rose about 0.4 percentage points from 59.3 percent the previous week, as he appears to still be enjoying a blissful honeymoon period since his inauguration on June 4.

Realmeter attributed the robust rating to a series of livelihood-related measures including cash vouchers to boost private consumption and revive the struggling economy, along with stringent restrictions on household loans aimed at curbing real estate speculation.
