On November 3, major South Korean newspapers covered President Lee's budget speech, which centered on the theme of "growth for all." The Korean-language dailies, including the Kyunghyang Shinmun, Kookmin Daily, Donga Ilbo, Seoul Shinmun, Segye Times, Chosun Ilbo, JoongAng Ilbo, Hankyoreh, and Hankook Ilbo, all featured the phrase "growth for all" prominently in their top headlines.

The English-language dailies, such as the Korea JoongAng Daily and the Korea Herald, also echoed this theme in their headlines. President Lee's speech aimed to provide growth opportunities for all citizens, with the 2027 budget speech being a key focus.

In addition to emphasizing growth for all, President Lee's budget speech allocated up to 821 trillion won for future development. The Korea Economic Daily reported that people in their 20s and 30s were emerging as significant players in property auctions.

The Korean media also highlighted the political implications of President Lee's speech, with the Korea Times reporting that migrant communities were pushing back against his framing of the budget as a move against "reverse discrimination."
