(EDITORIAL from Korea Times on Oct. 29)

Resumen del corpus

The President Lee Jae Myung faced growing discontent from farmers due to a nationwide farmland survey, which they view as a threat to their livelihoods and land ownership. Attempts by the administration to appease these disgruntled farmers through town hall meetings were unsuccessful, as Lee remained indecisive about the survey and evasive regarding its motives. The controversy deepens as the potential accession to the CPTPP further complicates reconciliation efforts, leading to declining approval ratings for the President in key regions.
