A group of migrant rights advocates and foreign residents held a press conference outside the presidential office in Seoul on Tuesday to denounce President Lee Jae Myung. The participants argued that recent remarks made by the president have promoted hostility toward immigrant communities. During the event, speakers questioned the accuracy of the president's statements regarding the lived experiences of foreigners in South Korea. Furthermore, the advocates urged the administration to prioritize meaningful reforms to the nation's immigration and social welfare policies, arguing that existing systemic deficiencies are the true source of ongoing challenges faced by migrants. The demonstration served as a formal call for the government to move away from divisive language and instead focus on addressing structural issues within the current system.
