  "summary": "Prime Minister Han Seong-sook has pledged to personally ensure the success of the government's housing supply plan, vowing to \"stake her job\" on its execution. This commitment came during a Cabinet meeting following President Lee Jae Myung's request to prioritize the plan as an economic stimulus measure. Han has been visiting construction sites weekly to monitor progress and has announced plans to provide over 230,000 additional homes in the Seoul metropolitan area. These measures include accelerating development on public land, lifting greenbelt restrictions, and supporting private-sector projects. The initiative aims to address criticism that the government has been more focused on demand reduction than supply expansion.",
