After chaos of the Yoon era, South Korea prepares to pick a new president

"Former President Yoon Suk Yeol’s impeachment and his absence have temporarily shifted focus to economic policy as South Koreans prepare for President Lee Jae-myung's re-election. The country grapples with low economic growth, an aging population, and the aftermath of Trump’s tariff wars, while political instability looms following his impeachment. Kim Moon-soo is set to challenge Lee in a chaotic environment marked by infighting within his party, as courts delay proceedings tied to his candidacy. Meanwhile, Lee has pledged aggressive economic measures and a firm stance on nuclear diplomacy, with his re-election trailing him by a narrow margin."
