The quote closely matches the policy topic: it describes a national plan to give the public a citizen's dividend funded by tax revenue from excess AI profits. But it only says the remarks were a 'review of a plan,' so the speaker's stance on adopting that full policy is not clearly stated.

Verified: a Bloomberg/Yahoo report on May 13, 2026 quotes Lee's X post with the exact clause "a review of a plan to distribute the national excess tax revenue generated from excess profits in the AI sector to the public as a citizen's dividend." Korea JoongAng Daily and Yonhap independently describe the same statement with slightly different but faithful English translations, confirming it was attributed to Lee Jae Myung. The ANI story syndicated by The Tribune carries a near-identical version.

Source URL (aninews.in) returns HTTP 403 and blocks AI fetching, so I could not read the exact page; the quote also contains a bracketed paraphrase "[My policy chief's remarks amounted to]". However, the substance is corroborated by multiple outlets (Bloomberg, Yahoo Finance, Korea Herald) dated May 13, 2026: South Korean President Lee Jae-myung clarified that his policy chief Kim Yong-beom's proposal was about distributing excess TAX REVENUE collected from AI-sector companies' large profits to the public (a "citizen dividend"), correcting "fake news" that portrayed it as directly handing out company profits. Author attribution (Lee Jae-myung, President of South Korea since 2025) and year (2026) are correct. The vote "for" the statement "A nation should fund a citizens' dividend from AI windfall profits" aligns with Lee's position — he defended and is reviewing exactly this plan; his "rejection of fake news" targeted a mischaracterization of the mechanism, not the dividend concept itself. Marking ai_unverifiable because the source_url blocks fetching and the exact verbatim wording (a translated/bracketed paraphrase) could not be confirmed against the page, though the substance and stance check out.
