Lee Bok-hyun, Governor of the Financial Supervisory Service, addressed rumors about his potential candidacy in next year's general election, stating, "I feel that my role is necessary given that the current tasks will continue through the end of this year and into next year."
On the 17th, during the National Assembly's Political Affairs Committee audit held at the Financial Supervisory Service in Yeouido, Lee made this remark in response to a question from Park Sung-jun, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, asking if he had decided to run in next year's election.
