Pension reform drive
The government has finally set about to reform the four major public pensions.

Forging bipartisanship
President Yoon Suk-yeol has begun to show signs of changing his leadership style in a bid to better reflect public opinion and move toward bipartisanship. This move is drawing positive responses from the opposition political parties and the people.

Boost essential medical services
The Ministry of Health and Welfare said in its report to President Yoon Suk-yeol on Friday that it would facilitate more funds to essential medical services related directly to life to prevent further similar tragedies following the death of a nurse at one of Seoul's top hospitals.
