Ask what Korea is talking about.

President Lee Jae Myung visited Cheongsong and Yeongyang counties in North Gyeongsang Province on Saturday to inspect the pilot rural basic income program, a key policy initiative, and met with residents and small business owners. Yonhap and the Korea Times report the trip was unannounced, and the presidential office said Lee communicated with locals and small merchants, with one young business owner telling him, "기본소득 덕분에 장사할 만" (business is worth running thanks to basic income). Korean media coverage focuses on the presidential visit and the program's local impact, while public reaction is not detailed in the supplied reports.
