Lee Jae-myung Administration's Approval Rating Reaches Dead Cross

In a phone interview survey by 'Kkot' Research, negative evaluations overtook positive ones, and various other polls like Hangil Research and Realmeter also showed negative evaluations solidifying below 40%. This is significantly faster than the Moon Jae-in and Park Geun-hye administrations reached a dead cross, indicating deepening public dissatisfaction with the current government.

The recent cabinet reshuffle is acting as a detrimental factor, further accelerating the decline in the Lee Jae-myung administration's approval rating. Continuous controversies surrounding the newly nominated candidates are raising public dissatisfaction, leading to a drop in approval ratings. Panelists mocked the controversial candidates for stubbornly holding onto their positions, emphasizing the negative impact of the reshuffle.

Specifically, it was pointed out that she resold an apartment to a Chinese national, earning tens of millions of won in market profit, which has amplified the controversy.

The panelist brought up the controversy, mentioning that Representative Kim Seung-won used the term 'oppa' during the lobbying process. As the confirmation hearing approaches, additional allegations against nominees are expected to continue to surface.

An analysis suggests that opposition lawmakers are still withholding crucial information that could play a decisive role in the confirmation hearings. They are saving important allegations to emerge as 'stars' during the hearings, implying that this could cause a greater stir once the hearings begin.

The panelist explained the background, noting that the linked proportional representation system is 'complicated to calculate.' Representative Jang Hye-young continued her strong criticism, stating that Representative Yong Hye-in's retention of her parliamentary seat is a means to secure government subsidies for the Basic Income Party.

Negative public opinion regarding Representative Yong Hye-in is spreading among young people. Panelist Son Soo-jo reported that even friends uninterested in politics know Yong Hye-in's name and mention it, indicating high recognition. Even elementary school students reportedly know her name, suggesting widespread public awareness, but this seems closer to resentment than positive sentiment. It was mentioned that the anger among young people is hotter than in summer, raising concerns.

Criticism has been raised regarding Representative Yong Hye-in's political conduct and style. Panelist Kwon Ye-young specifically pointed out Yong Hye-in's 'white bangs cosplay,' stating that young people feel uncomfortable with her attempt to appear like a seasoned politician despite being born in the 90s. Furthermore, a lack of concrete experience in gender equality or youth politics, along with questions about her proportional representation selection process and legislative capabilities, have been raised.

Panelist Kwon Ye-young mentioned that Yong Hye-in proudly put this on her resume, and from a marketing expert's perspective, questioned the political validity of this credential. This led to controversy not only about the appropriateness of the credential itself but also about the intention behind promoting it.

It was noted that many critical opinions about Yong Hye-in are appearing on youth women's communities like Women's Generation and Nate Pann.

Panelist Kwon Ye-young mentioned that Yong Hye-in spearheaded bills on non-consensual intercourse and the 'living partnership' law, and also moved to abolish penalties for homosexuality in the military. These bills are related to socially unagreed-upon issues of gender perception, leading to criticism of her suitability as a ministerial candidate.

Panelist Son Soo-jo strongly criticized, stating that 'it is unacceptable for someone with such flawed gender perception to become the Minister of Gender Equality and Family.' The 2030 generation, in particular, expressed incomprehension regarding this appointment, questioning her qualifications as a minister.

Panelist Son Soo-jo asserted, 'It was Lee Jae-myung who nominated Yong Hye-in as a ministerial candidate. This must be widely publicized.' This appears to be an attempt to counter the Democratic Party's framing strategy to separate Yong Hye-in from Lee Jae-myung and obscure responsibility.

Panelist Kwon Ye-young explained that the 'living partnership' law is 'a law that states people who feel they are family should be recognized as family based on that emotion.' It was expressed that if the definition of family is expanded based on emotion, it could severely clash with existing family law systems regarding insurance, pensions, and housing, leading to serious side effects.

Criticism has been raised regarding attempts to delete sex-related penalty clauses within the military. Panelist Kwon Ye-young pointed out that because the military is a hierarchical organization, sex-related issues can be exploited and lead to a breakdown of discipline within the military. She explained that these penal provisions in military criminal law were established for this reason, and expressed concern over attempts to delete them.

He also expressed concern about her policy direction, noting that even women's organizations oppose Yong Hye-in's stance on abolishing prosecutorial supplementary investigation rights.
