[Financial News] At a State Council meeting held at Cheong Wa Dae on the 25th, President Lee Jae Myung said, "The issue of lowering the age for juvenile offenders seems to have been delayed for too long, so I hope a swift decision can be made." He added, "We would lower it within a range of one or two years for serious repeat offenses. After once again reviewing public opinion on this point, I hope we can settle it early and move ahead with legislation."
