[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jin-young] On the 21st, Jeong Cheong-rae, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, evaluated the rebound of President Moon Jae-in's approval rating to the 40% range near the end of his term by saying, "He might become a successful president who retires with a majority approval rating."

On the afternoon of the same day, Jeong posted an article titled "The Republic of Korea is a Moon Jae-in Holding Country" on his Facebook, emphasizing, "Compared to the approval ratings of past presidents near the end of their terms, which were around 20%, this is a very surprising figure."

He said, "From the first year of his administration, the opposition party falsely attacked that the economy was collapsing, but even amid the COVID-19 crisis, he recorded the highest economic growth rate among OECD countries," adding, "Foreign exchange reserves are also maintained at a record high of 443.1 billion dollars."

He continued, "During a war, everyone must unite around the commander," and reiterated, "We are currently at war with COVID-19, and the best commander is President Moon Jae-in."
