Ask what Korea is talking about.

President Lee Jae Myung posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Nov. 7, writing, "Praise but do not worship, support but do not idolize," adding that democracy "does not come on its own and is not preserved on its own," and that only citizens' continuous participation and practice with "living reason" responding to truth and justice can sustain it, according to Chosun Ilbo and Dong-a Ilbo. The remarks were aimed at cautioning against blind obedience to politicians and emphasizing rational civic engagement.
