President Yoon Suk Yeol made a public appearance in Seoul, interacting with citizens for the first time since his party's election defeat. He visited a Korean restaurant to have lunch and discuss the rising dining costs with the public. Later, he spent time at the Cheonggyecheon, where he assured the crowd that his government would work to control consumer prices. He then visited Dongnimmun Yeongcheon Market, where he addressed the issue of high commission fees for cash vouchers and took selfies with market-goers. Despite his previous active engagement with citizens, President Yoon's approval rating has dropped to 24%, the lowest for a democratically elected president in their second year in office. This public appearance coincided with his second anniversary in office and a meeting with the presidential office press corps.
