'Matter of survival': The president who wants to help fund hair loss treatment

South Korea's President Lee Jae Myung proposes that national health insurance should cover hair loss treatments, considering it a crucial healthcare issue for the country's residents. While the proposal has garnered support, some, like 32-year-old Seoul resident Song Ji-hoon, question its necessity and suggest it might be a political move. The stigma around baldness in South Korea, particularly among young people, adds to the debate over whether such treatments should be prioritized over funding for more critical health concerns. President Lee suggests imposing coverage limits to ease the financial burden on the national health insurance system caused by subsidizing hair loss treatments.
