According to a PenNMike poll, negative evaluations of Representative Lee Jae-myung among those in their 30s and residents of Seoul are nearing 70%, heightening a sense of crisis.
Specifically, positive evaluations among those in their 30s were only 22.2%, while negative evaluations reached 76.3%.
In the Seoul area, positive evaluations were 27.9% and negative evaluations were 68.2%, indicating a prevalent negative perception. This survey shows that general distrust in Representative Lee Jae-myung is widespread.
Representative Lee Jae-myung's approval rating has fallen below the 35% threshold, dropping into the 34% range. The current approval rating is analyzed as an accelerated exodus of swing voters, excluding the fixed support base.
Some predict that if this trend continues, the approval rating could drop further into the 20% range.
Distrust in Representative Lee Jae-myung's administrative capability was evident in the case of the Olympic Park event cancellation, where refunds exceeded 1 billion won. This is a major reason why the public questions the current administration's leadership.
Furthermore, the tendency to rely on the image of corporate leaders rather than solving diplomatic problems deepens public distrust, leading to questions about his qualifications as president.
The collapse of Representative Lee Jae-myung's approval rating below 35% carries symbolic meaning beyond a mere number. Citizens are feeling the failures of the Lee Jae-myung administration, and the weight of this sentiment is considerable.
Among the negative evaluation categories in the poll, 'very wrong' responses surpassed the majority, indicating strong distrust in the administration.
While women in their 20s and 30s generally don't have much interest in politics, they share a perception of Representative Lee Jae-myung as a 'criminal', leading to a tendency not to support him. Even if they don't know all the specific details, the younger generation values basic moral principles.
They express dissatisfaction with the Lee Jae-myung government's policies, such as those that distribute money or regulate loans, which they perceive as neglecting young people. This feeling of alienation from real-life policies leads to distrust in the Lee Jae-myung government among the youth.
Ultimately, the younger generation feels that the Lee Jae-myung government's policies are disconnected from their lives, fostering resentment.
Critics argue that just as trash can be packaged as art, Representative Lee Jae-myung was supported in a similar fashion.
They used the analogy that the wrapping paper is now coming off, revealing Representative Lee Jae-myung's true self, to assess the current situation.
Didn't someone peel off and eat that banana? At the end... A new banana was bought and stuck on again. And then it was sold at auction for about 8.5 billion won. So when you scratch each other's backs, even trash becomes art.

The so-called 'Myung-Cheon conflict' between Representative Lee Jae-myung and Chung Cheong-rae's faction has intensified since the party convention, exacerbating instability within the opposition party. This conflict acts as a factor undermining Representative Lee Jae-myung's support base.
It is analyzed that key figures from the leftist camp, such as Cho Kuk, Yoo Si-min, and Kim Eo-jun, have made critical remarks about Representative Lee Jae-myung, encouraging the departure of traditional supporters in the Honam region.
In particular, details from Samsung's public disclosures and Chairman Choi Tae-won's remarks revealed the infeasibility of these policies, increasing disappointment among Honam residents.
This failure to keep promises is seen as Honam's public sentiment turning from mere withdrawal of support to 'betrayal'.
In Honam, critical voices about Representative Lee Jae-myung are growing in local establishments such as restaurants and taxis. Even elderly people who were once supporters are now showing changed sentiments, reacting with "The President seems a bit strange."
Personnel controversies, particularly the appointment of Rep. Yong Hye-in, have contributed to the spread of this negative sentiment.
In daily conversations in places like restaurants and taxis, critical opinions, if not outright direct criticism, are emerging regarding Representative Lee Jae-myung.
As various issues, including the controversy involving Rep. Kim Seung-won, overlap, the defection of public sentiment in the Honam region is deepening, acting as a factor that shakes Representative Lee Jae-myung's core support base.
A movement has been observed where the 40s and 50s generation, who previously shied away from political discussions, are now proactively asking questions to the 20s and 30s to gather public opinion. This, coupled with changes in how the younger generation expresses political frustration, indicates a shift in grassroots public sentiment.
Rejection of controversies regarding infringement of suffrage also forms a part of this change. Increased question-based communication in frontline settings, such as with taxi drivers, suggests that political perceptions among citizens are evolving.
This phenomenon is an important indicator that overall perceptions of Representative Lee Jae-myung are changing as political dialogue across various generations becomes more active.
Many entertainers, influencers, and speakers who were past supporters of Representative Lee Jae-myung have changed their stance and are showing critical attitudes.

These movements are analyzed as playing a role in overturning the overall atmosphere of the camp that supported Representative Lee Jae-myung. Their departure becomes another factor weakening Representative Lee Jae-myung's support base.
