President Lee ordered the Minister of Employment and Labor Kim Young-hoon to inspect the so-called &#8220;thin width.&#8221; Gunwidth refers to a phenomenon in which unions exercise their physical power and demand work. President Lee said, &#8220;We need to determine whether the phenomenon occurring at the construction site is illegal or unfair.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>President Lee&#8217;s approval rating was at a low of 40 percent. According to a poll conducted by Gallup Korea on 1,001 voters aged 18 or older nationwide from the 1st to the 3rd, President Lee&#8217;s approval rating was 40%, down 2 percentage points from last week. The negative rating is 51 percent. Real estate policy (23 percent) was the most common reason for the negative evaluation of President Lee. Many pointed out the issue of personnel management (9%). Gallup pointed out, &#8220;The increase in personnel issues seems to be the aftermath of the appointment of six ministers.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>President Lee himself took care of the youth budget and policies, but they had no effect. Lee&#8217;s approval rating in his 20s was only 25 percent, and his approval rating in his 30s was only 31 percent. Public sentiment in the Seoul metropolitan area, which is paying keen attention to real estate issues, remained chilly.
