President Lee Jae-myung, reform must lead to results... eye-catching and noisy border

President Lee Jae-myung said on the 4th, “Reform should be a goal, not a means to reveal clarity, attract attention, and attack someone.”

On this day, President Lee wrote on

He emphasized, "Reforms should lead to actual results that improve people's livelihood and contribute to national development, and should not hinder the creation of results by making the process too noisy to attract attention."

He added, “We will unwaveringly pursue practical reforms that actually improve the lives of the people.”

This is interpreted as targeting the situation where criticism from hard-core supporters of the ruling party surrounding the appointment of Kim Ji-yong, the first candidate for the head of the Serious Crimes Investigation Agency, continues despite additional verification by the Blue House and explanation by President Lee.

It is interpreted that President Lee is trying to strengthen pan-ruling party unity by recalling the essence of reform and emphasizing that his will to reform is unwavering, while also urging the government to refrain from excessive internal attacks using reform as a medium.

Youth Future Savings is a 3-year maturity product that allows free payment of up to 500,000 won per month. The government supports 'matching' 6% or 12% contribution and is exempt from interest income tax.

President Lee said, “Until this second round of subscription, requirements such as having less than 200% of the household median income apply, but starting next year, the eligibility for subscription will be expanded to all young people,” and promised, “The government will provide support so that young people can gradually prepare for the future.”
