Support for South Korean President Hits Record Low Amid Housing Policy Discontent

14 Ağustos 2026Bloomberg

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung's approval ratings have plummeted to a record low, driven by public dissatisfaction with his housing policies. The government's attempts to address the soaring real estate market and a controversial property tax overhaul have not met expectations.
This decline in support highlights the challenges facing the administration as it grapples with a critical issue affecting many citizens.
Housing affordability has been a pressing issue in South Korea, where rising prices have disproportionately affected younger generations and low-income families. The proposed property tax overhaul was intended to address these concerns but has instead sparked further discontent.
The significant drop in President Lee's support underscores the deep-seated frustrations among South Koreans regarding housing affordability. As the real estate market continues to surge, the government's inability to implement effective policies may lead to broader political repercussions.
