President Moon Jae-in will hold a New Year press conference, Monday, seeking a turnaround in his sinking approval ratings, according to political analysts.
The conference comes less than three months before the mayoral by-elections in Seoul and Busan, which are considered a major litmus test for the 2022 presidential election.
Moon s approval ratings have remained at a record-low 38 percent for two consecutive weeks, according to a Gallup Korea poll released Friday.
