President: "A Warm Winter for the Migrant Workers by Our Side"

Let me see, what was it I heard last time?
Controversy over President Lee's remark that 'foreign workers do not contribute significantly to the economy'... Experts say "cannot be justified even considering the context"

As President Lee Jae-myung's remark during a cabinet meeting that "foreign workers do not contribute significantly to the national economy" sparked controversy, he demanded corrections and apologies from the media, stating it was a comparison suggesting that foreign workers do not contribute 'significantly' more to the economy than locals.
Experts criticized the President's remarks, stating that foreign workers also contribute sufficiently to stimulating domestic demand and the Korean economy, and that such comments could reinforce discriminatory perceptions toward migrant workers.
