The disapproval rating for South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol hit its highest level in about nine months in a major poll amid escalating questions over whether the first lady inappropriately received a designer bag.
The disapproval rate for Yoon rose to 63% from 58% in a weekly tracking poll by Gallup Korea released Friday. The polling group cited the “issue” around the first lady as one of the drivers for the rise in the rate.
