The conference, slated to take place at 10 a.m. on Thursday, will allow Lee to outline his key policies while discussing a wide range of issues in a town-hall setting which includes an interactive Q&A session with journalists.
Meanwhile, according to a recent survey of over 2,500 voters by pollster Realmeter released earlier in the day, Lee's approval rating stood at nearly 60 percent last week, less than a month into his presidency.
The figure rose about 0.4 percentage points from 59.3 percent the previous week, as he appears to still be enjoying a blissful honeymoon period since his inauguration on June 4.
Realmeter attributed the robust rating to a series of livelihood-related measures including cash vouchers to boost private consumption and revive the struggling economy, along with stringent restrictions on household loans aimed at curbing real estate speculation.
