  "account": "Korea's conservatives have shown resilience following President Lee Jae Myung's recent decline in popularity. The People Power Party (PPP) leader Jang Dong-hyuk has particularly benefited from the drop in Lee's approval ratings, making strong and aggressive statements against the current administration. Jang believes the reshuffle is a ploy to cancel charges against Lee and establish a leftist dictatorship. He has refused to resign despite calls from the majority of his lawmakers, predicting his term will end in August next year. Another PPP independent lawmaker, Han Dong-hoon, has also capitalized on the president's waning support by winning a by-election in Busan's Buk-A district.",
