51.7% of Koreans Say Controversy Over Lee Jae-myung's Re-election Constitutional Amendment Remains Unresolved

A public opinion survey found that 51.7% of Koreans believe the controversy over President Lee Jae-myung's bid to amend the constitution to allow re-election remains unresolved. In the same survey, evaluations of the president's press conference were predominantly negative, with 57.7% saying he handled it 'badly' and 39.2% saying he did 'well.'

34.3% of respondents cited housing and the livelihood economy as the top priority going forward, showing that economic and livelihood issues, rather than political controversies such as the re-election amendment, are what the public cares about most.

The survey results reflect simultaneous demands for resolving the amendment controversy, negative assessments of the press conference, and calls to prioritize the livelihood economy—figures that confirm public opinion places greater weight on addressing real-life issues than on political disputes.
