Democratic presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung expressed his intention to implement an aggressive livelihood policy by securing financial resources before the election, saying that a supplementary budget of up to 30 trillion won is feasible before the Lunar New Year holiday. Concerns about targeting the 20s and housewives, who have relatively low approval ratings in opinion polls, are also read.

New Year's press conference at the old Kia Motors Sohari plant, a symbol of the end of the financial crisis.
Democratic Party candidate Lee Jae-myung said that it is possible to organize an additional supplementary budget before the Lunar New Year to overcome the corona crisis.
We proposed a target of at least 1 million won per person, 25-30 trillion won for all citizens.
The title refers to the disaster subsidy for the entire nation, and the consumption coupon is mentioned as the method.
[Lee Jae-myung / Democratic Party Presidential Candidate: When a consumption coupon is paid to the entire nation, it is supporting the entire nation and at the same time supporting the sales of small business owners and self-employed people. There is a double effect.]
Candidate Lee also said that he would try to supply a native coronavirus vaccine within the first half of this year.
The Democratic Party's election leader also plans to focus on targeting those with relatively weak approval ratings for the remaining two months.
In the SBS New Year's poll, Lee got 34.9% approval, but 20.5% for those in their 20s or younger, 29.7% for full-time housewives, and 16.8% in their hometowns of Daegu and Gyeongbuk.
An official from the election committee said, "There is a tendency for women and full-time housewives to drop their approval ratings due to past suspicions."
Candidate Lee is scheduled to announce the national future vision in Gwangju today (the 5th), and former CEO Nak-yeon Lee will accompany him.
