Ask what Korea is talking about.

President Lee Jae Myung's approval rating fell to 35.9 percent last week, likely due to an intense political standoff over legislation and stock market volatility, a pollster said Monday, according to the Korea Times and Yonhap. The figure marks a drop from 41 percent recorded earlier in the week, which was the first time in over two months that the rating exceeded 40 percent, based on a Gallup Korea survey. Korean media coverage focuses on the fluctuation, with Yonhap reporting the same 35.9 percent figure on Nov. 9, while the Korea Times noted the rating had slipped below 40 percent following a brief rebound in late October.
