People Power Party Achieves Golden Cross in 40s Support

This suggests that even the 40s support base, known as the Democratic Party's 'concrete layer,' is departing.

The large-scale departure of people in their 40s, traditionally a core support base for the Democratic Party, is being taken as a serious crisis signal for Representative Lee Jae-myung and the Democratic Party. In particular, with negative evaluations significantly outnumbering positive ones among people in their 40s, there is an assessment that the collapse of the Democratic Party's support base is becoming a reality.

The decline in approval ratings in these regions and generations, which have steadfastly supported the Democratic Party, is escalating the sense of crisis within the party.

In particular, with the collapse of the trusted Honam and 40s support base simultaneously, the Democratic Party is being called upon for fundamental self-reflection on its leadership and policy direction. Their departure is expected to have a significant impact on the Democratic Party's future election strategy.

Among seniors aged 70 and older, concerns about security issues are acting as a major reason for the departure of support. In particular, criticisms point out that issues such as the reduction of South Korea-U.S. joint military exercises and the consolidation of military academies, pushed by Representative Lee Jae-myung, amplified anxieties about South Korea's security. These are generations that highly value national security and are sensitive to the foreign and defense policies of the government and ruling party.

As concerns spread that recent policy directions could weaken the South Korea-U.S. alliance, supporters aged 70 and older are withdrawing their support for Representative Lee Jae-myung and the Democratic Party. This is leading to actual security anxieties and significantly impacting the decline in the Democratic Party's approval ratings.

This clearly shows that the large-scale departure from Representative Lee Jae-myung and the Democratic Party is accelerating among the 40s and 50s generations. Considering that people in their 50s were also one of the Democratic Party's traditional support bases, this change is a significant blow to the party.

The decline in Representative Lee Jae-myung's approval rating is appearing not only among conservatives and moderates but also among the progressive demographic, a core support base of the Democratic Party. The sharp drop in approval among progressives is analyzed as a result of a complex interplay of Representative Lee Jae-myung's leadership and the Democratic Party's lack of effective policy response.

As the political landscape itself changes, disappointment with Representative Lee Jae-myung is expanding even to the progressive demographic. This shows that the crisis facing the Democratic Party is not limited to specific generations or regions but is threatening its overall support base.

There are continuous criticisms that this idea completely disregards the cramped space and structural characteristics of goshiwons. In reality, installing a bathtub in a goshiwon is physically almost impossible, and it could exacerbate fundamental problems with the living environment, such as humidity and ventilation issues.

This misunderstanding of the actual living conditions of young people residing in goshiwons is leading to debates about the policy's effectiveness. Many goshiwons do not even have partitions, making the installation of a bathtub an unrealistic policy that is far removed from reality. These criticisms highlight the lack of deep consideration for youth housing issues and the absence of realistic solutions.
