In a surprising turn, Gyeonggi Gov. Kim Dong-yeon, who is presumed to be an ally of Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung, has opposed Lee’s proposal to hand out 250,000 won ($187) to each citizen to help ease people’s deepening economic pain. President Yoon Suk Yeol would certainly welcome the governor’s unexpected move as he has been on a crusade to reduce the snowballing national debt expected to reach 880 trillion won ($657 billion) next year.
