South Korea's opposition leader Lee Jae-myung has achieved a historic milestone, securing the highest approval rating in his party history at 45.9% following recent legislative victories that include passing three laws on women and children protection while simultaneously defeating an impeachment motion against President Yoon Suk-yeol by over two-thirds of votes; this surge to nearly half support marks a dramatic reversal from earlier polls where Lee's standing hovered around the low thirties, driven largely by public backlash toward his administration following martial law declarations.
