Ask what Korea is talking about.

President Lee Jae Myung on Friday called on his government to declare war on violent crime and adopt proactive steps to prevent violence before it occurs, following a series of violent crimes targeting random victims or family members. Presiding over a pan-government meeting, Lee emphasized building a "supersafe" society through proactive prevention efforts, as reported by Yonhap and KBS World. This follows his Wednesday urging for "aggressive" police reform to address wrongful practices and systems, including a special system to independently vet police investigations, per Korea Times and Yonhap. His approval rating rose to 40 percent for the first time since early September, according to a Gallup Korea poll of 1,001 people, as Korea Times and Yonhap report.
