  • Biography Flash: Lee Jae-myung's Eventful Week - From TV Sensation to Political Firestorm
    Oct 12 2025
    Lee Jae-myung Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

    It has been an eventful week for President Lee Jae-myung of South Korea, with headlines shifting rapidly from political intrigue to pop culture sensation. Most notably, President Lee and First Lady Kim Hea Kyung appeared on JTBC’s popular cooking show "Please Take Care of My Refrigerator" in celebration of Chuseok. Their appearance, which aired last Monday but was filmed in late September, broke all-time ratings for the show at 8.9 percent, and marked the first time a sitting Korean president starred in a variety program. The couple passionately promoted Korean food culture, with Lee highlighting the enduring power and economic potential of K-food. The broadcast drew attention for its warmth, but also became a political flashpoint.

    Almost immediately, Lee’s critics in the opposition People Power Party accused him of neglecting a national crisis. A fire at a major data center had paralyzed government systems and resulted in the tragic death of a civil servant, just days before the variety show was taped. The opposition charged that Lee’s focus on promoting himself was ill-timed, alleging a “lost 48 hours” of leadership. According to Korea JoongAng Daily and The DongA Ilbo, this ignited a flurry of legal actions with both sides filing defamation suits and demanding transparency regarding the president’s official schedule during the fire. The presidential office fired back, stating Lee was briefed on the crisis and held emergency meetings, while Democratic Party lawmakers called the criticism political theater.

    On the social media front, Lee has leaned into public empathy. He posted holiday greetings alongside the First Lady dressed in traditional hanbok, vowing to put people’s livelihoods first, “even if it means enduring blame and misunderstanding,” as reported by Korea JoongAng Daily. These posts, alongside images from the Chuseok festivities, have circulated widely, bolstering Lee’s carefully crafted “man of the people” image.

    Turning to policy and governance, there was no holiday pause for Lee. Just today, October 12th, he ordered all government ministries to actively cooperate with the upcoming National Assembly audit, insisting on accountability and promising to personally reprimand any agency found negligent in responding to legitimate criticism. He also ordered a strengthened investigation into alleged external pressure on prosecutors in a customs drug probe, reinforcing his reputation as a no-nonsense reformer, according to Maeil Business Newspaper.

    Internationally, Lee continues to grapple with other contentious issues, from tariff negotiations with the United States—which now loom over South Korean economic policy—to managing growing anti-China demonstrations in Seoul, which he condemned as “self-destructive” acts jeopardizing national interests, according to China Daily.

    In sum, this week has seen Lee Jae-myung at the center of politics, culture, controversy, and reform—a presidency redefining the boundaries between national crisis management and celebrity outreach.

  • Biography Flash: Lee Jae-myung Blends K-Culture, Statecraft & Apologies in Whirlwind Week
    Oct 8 2025
    Lee Jae-myung Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

    In the whirlwind of the past few days for President Lee Jae-myung, the headlines are all about cultural diplomacy, political theater, and one very highly-rated prime-time TV appearance. Let’s start with what is lighting up both traditional and social media. Fresh off the Chuseok holiday, Lee and First Lady Kim Hye Kyung grabbed national attention by appearing on JTBC’s “Please Take Care of My Refrigerator,” marking his first return to variety television in eight years. That episode, aired on October 6, not only broke the show’s all-time ratings record with 8.9 percent viewership according to Chosun Ilbo, but it also sparked a national conversation about the blending of politics and pop culture. The couple showcased iconic Korean ingredients and Lee made his case for promoting Korean food as a new export, telling viewers on-air that “K-pop and dramas are vital, but at the heart of it all is food” and voicing the power of K-food abroad, as covered by The Korea Times.

    But the good vibes were quickly mixed with political controversy. The main opposition People Power Party slammed the timing of the Chuseok episode, pointing out it was filmed just two days after a fire at a critical government data center caused a national network outage—a crisis that the PPP insists Lee responded to too slowly. In response, the presidential office released a minute-by-minute breakdown of Lee's post-UN return, emphasizing that the show taping was part of a strategic soft-power campaign bridging K-culture and statecraft. Prime Minister Kim Min-seok defended Lee publicly, reminding critics the president was also managing major trade talks and data recovery efforts.

    On social, Lee doubled down, posting multiple times on Instagram and X. He reaffirmed his pledge to focus on citizens’ livelihoods, promising—with visible humility—to “give my all” for Korea’s future, even if it means enduring criticism. And in a more playful pop-culture moment, Lee posted a photo taken with a virtual BTS RM at the launch of the Presidential Committee on Popular Culture Exchange, catching even RM himself off guard when he responded, “Oh my god. Is this photoshopped?” on fan platform Weverse.

    Outside the spectacle, Lee delivered a formal apology for past abuses in South Korea’s foreign adoption program, posting heartfelt remarks acknowledging the harm done to adoptees, as widely reported by ABC News.

    Riding the cultural diplomacy theme, teasers for the upcoming APEC 2025 feature Lee in a cinematic cameo, with K-pop legend G-Dragon, as a “parking marshal” guiding Korea’s global fortunes—another buzzy campaign underlining his administration’s blend of heritage, modernity, and PR savvy as reported by Times of India.

    All of this comes as Lee continues major negotiations with the U.S. over tariffs and maintains a packed business agenda, but it’s the drama around that refrigerator and the ratings record that’s likely to linger in the public imagination.

  • Lee Jae-myung's Sensitive Leadership | Biography Flash
    Oct 5 2025
    Lee Jae-myung Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

    In the past few days, President Lee Jae-myung has been involved in several significant developments. On October 4, 2025, he expressed his commitment to improving working conditions for civil servants following the tragic death of a government IT official, who was working to restore online services after a recent fire at the National Information Resources Service[10].

    Lee Jae-myung also made headlines for his creative public appearance when he posed with a virtual BTS member RM during the launch of the Presidential Committee on Popular Culture Exchange. This unusual moment caught the attention of BTS fans worldwide and was shared on the president's social media[2].

    Notably, Lee has been addressing sensitive historical issues. He recently apologized for past human rights abuses in intercountry adoption cases, acknowledging the suffering of Korean adoptees and their families. This came as South Korea officially became part of the Hague Adoption Convention, marking a significant step in ensuring the rights of adoptees are protected[6].

    Amid controversy, Lee and his wife's appearance on an entertainment show was postponed due to the recent death of the government official and the national mood of remembrance. Critics from the People's Power Party argued that the timing of such appearances was insensitive[5][8].

    Lee Jae-myung has also been involved in diplomatic efforts, pushing for improved relations with North Korea by advocating for reunions of separated families around the Chuseok holiday[7].
