Ask what Korea is talking about.

President Lee Jae Myung's approval rating rose to 41 percent, up 2 percentage points from a week earlier, according to a Gallup Korea poll conducted Nov. 3-5 on 1,001 adults, Yonhap and the Korea Times report. This marks the first time in over two months the figure exceeded 40 percent. Positive assessments were driven mainly by "diplomacy" (18 percent), followed by "economy and livelihoods" and "communication," while "real estate policy" (19 percent) led negative views. The ruling Democratic Party's support stood at 36 percent and the People Power Party at 28 percent, a gap outside the margin of error for the first time in two weeks, Yonhap reports.
