Lee Jae-myung Criticizes Practices Prioritizing Profit Over Safety

President Lee Jae-myung on the 28th criticized "a bad practice that prioritizes money or efficiency over safety," urging thorough investigations into related matters.

President Lee also made remarks that seemed to acknowledge the political interpretations of his recent actions, such as frequently dining at traditional markets. He added, "I originally enjoy eating at markets, so please understand."

These remarks by President Lee are seen as a message mindful of the criticism from the opposition party that his visits to traditional markets are moves aimed at the upcoming local elections.
