President Lee Jae-myung, who took office in June 2025 following the prior administration’s removal, continues to lead South Korea’s government with his Democratic Party holding a legislative majority. Recent weeks have seen his approval ratings decline into the mid-30s amid public concerns over housing costs, ministerial nominations, and local election outcomes, prompting a September 2026 press conference in which he explicitly ruled out pursuing constitutional changes for reelection and addressed related controversies. No formal impeachment proceedings, resignation demands with broad support, or legal actions capable of removing him from office have advanced. These factors underpin trader consensus that he will complete his term through 2026, despite ongoing policy debates and personnel adjustments within the administration.
