Lee said he offered to help vendors transition to legitimate businesses and suggested it would be far more profitable to sell coffee than their labor-intensive chicken porridge. Lee said he noted that a cup of coffee could sell for 8,000 to 10,000 won ($5.8 to $7.3), while the raw cost of beans was just 120 won (9 cents).The remarks quickly struck a nerve in a country where the rapid spread of small coffee shops has come to symbolize the struggles of the self-employed in a decaying job market.
Kim’s People Power Party accused Lee of “driving a nail into the hearts of small business owners” by portraying coffee shops as profiteering and said he misunderstood the factors behind retail pricing.Lee accused the conservatives of distorting his remarks, saying he was simply explaining how he had helped vendors operate in a better environment.Kim’s avoidance of direct criticism of Yoon over his martial law decree has been a major source of Lee’s political offensive against him.
When Yoon appeared May 21 to view a documentary film justifying his martial law decree and raising unfounded claims about how the liberals benefited from election fraud, some PPP members lamented he was practically campaigning for Lee.Kim, formerly Yoon’s labor minister, only said he would do his best as president to eliminate suspicions of alleged election fraud.

Well-dressed couples and boisterous teenagers flock for selfies and picturesque photos. Lines form at the diner featured on Guy Fieri’s Food Network show. On the farm itself, people can walk the dirt roads, rent out plots to grow their own foods or buy its produce.
Some developers have turned to the agrihood concept in the past couple of decades to lure buyers with a different kind of amenity. At least 27 U.S. states and Canadian provinces had agrihoods as of a 2018 report from the Urban Land Institute, and more have cropped up since then.Experts say agrihoods cater to buyers interested in sustainability, access to
and a mix of urban and rural life. The core aim of many projects is to “create a feeling for people,” said Matt Norris, one of the lead authors of that report.Joe Johnston, the founder of Agritopia, a community nestled around a plot of agricultural land, poses for a portrait inside his office April 22, 2025, in Gilbert, Ariz.
