South Korea’s Lee accepts resignation of policy adviser following cabinet reshuffle

South Korean President Lee Jae-Myung has accepted the resignation of his chief presidential policy adviser, according to an announcement by the presidential Blue House. The departure follows a broader cabinet reshuffle and a recent decline in the president's approval rating.

The resigned official, Kim Yong-beom, served as a key adviser to President Lee on economic policy matters, which included a focus on housing. The personnel changes come as the administration navigates political headwinds reflected in the drop in public support.
