South Korea's President Lee Accepts Policy Adviser Resignation Amid Cabinet Changes and Housing Concerns

Analysed 1 Sept 2026·2 sources analysed·South Korea·Politics

South Korean President Lee accepted the resignation of top policy adviser Kim following a cabinet reshuffle that introduced six new ministers and aides. Kim faced criticism for his role in listing leveraged ETFs linked to major chip producers, which increased stock market volatility. Lee's approval rating dropped to 38.9%, its first decline into the 30s since his June 2022 inauguration, amid public concerns over housing prices and rental costs. Analysts suggest that more than personnel changes may be needed to address growing public unease.
