A high-ranking official at the Blue House stated on April 4 that the government is considering deployment within limits that do not compromise South Korea's defense posture against North Korea. [^2]

The government plans to submit a bill for approval to the National Assembly, following a review process involving the National Security Council and the State Council. [^3]

The proposed deployment involves non-combat assets such as P-8 patrol aircraft capable of detecting submarines and surface ships, and supply ships, to minimize impact on defense readiness. [^4]

President Lee Lee Jae-myung stated on 2026-04-01 that critics should examine why housing prices in Gangnam are falling sharply rather than focusing solely on the property tax reform changes. [^5]

The government decided on 2026-04-01 to maintain the annual property tax increase limit at 150%, reversing an earlier proposal to raise it to 200%. [^6]
