Candidate spouses take center stage in South Korea's heated presidential race

Nan-young is making waves in South Korea’s election race by campaigning independently as the wife of a conservative candidate fighting to separate himself from former President Yoon Suk Yeol, who was impeached last year. She took her criticism to SNL Korea, using humor and jokes to highlight scandals involving Yoon and promote her husband’s clean family image while also campaigning against his rival. Her husband is now vying to carve out a unique political identity distinct from the impeachment scandal that briefly grounded him during his presidency.
