President Lee Jae Myung suggested that certain support policies for multicultural families could constitute “reverse discrimination”. He stated that bringing in foreign workers “does not greatly benefit the national economy” because they “send all their wages back to their home countries”. Advocates warned that his rhetoric risks reinforcing prejudice and deepening social divisions.
