Ask what Korea is talking about.

President Lee Jae Myung launched his own YouTube channel, President's Y, with its first 30-minute episode airing Thursday, according to Yonhap and the Korea Times. Lee said the program aims to explain his state administration and answer public questions, and he defended the move as a way to earn public confidence, KBS World reports. His approval rating rose to 41 percent, the first time above 40 percent since late August, a Gallup Korea poll showed Friday. The opposition criticized the channel, with the Hankyung reporting remarks like "볼륨 줄여달라니까 스피커 더 달아" (when asked to lower the volume, they add more speakers). A Korea Times editorial warned of the "perils of livestreamed presidency," noting Lee spent most of the conversation with a female interviewer making statements.
