Lee Jae-myung

In the wake of the U.S. withdrawal of support, North Korean human rights activists may also soon experience a similar withdrawal of support from Seoul.  

Lee Jae-myung’s strategic bet – that he can leverage widespread public discontent without further deepening societal divisions – will pose a key test for South Korea’s democracy.

Should the Constitutional Court uphold the impeachment of Yoon Suk-yeol, who will run for the presidential election? 

A Lee Jae-myung presidency will complicate the political landscape in East Asia, forcing Trump to prioritize which security threat to address first: North Korea or China.

Despite the public’s support for impeaching the South Korean president, the ruling People Power Party just outpolled the main opposition Democratic Party.

A day after Han Duck-soo vowed not to appoint three judges for the Constitutional Court, the main opposition party impeached the acting president.

It’s not just Yoon whose political career hangs in the balance; opposition Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung is grappling with numerous legal woes of his own.

After the revelation, the leader of the ruling People Power Party called for Yoon's presidential authority to be suspended immediately.

Despite the South Korean President’s illegal declaration of martial law, the ruling People Power Party leadership vowed to impede the opposition’s impeachment vote.

President Yoon Suk-yeol vowed to “root out the anti-state forces” while the opposition gathered at the National Assembly to respond.

Lee has been found guilty of violating election law, and more cases are still pending. What does this mean for the opposition leader’s political future?

After the opposition’s landslide victory in legislative polls, Yoon held his first meeting with Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung since taking office.

The opposition Democratic Party of Korea won a landslide victory in the 22nd general elections, largely due to Yoon's unpopularity.

Both President Yoon and his PPP and the opposition Democratic Party face leadership struggles and public backlash. 

The attack Thursday on Bae Hyunjin, a member of the conservative ruling party, came just weeks after a man stabbed opposition leader Lee Jae-myung in the neck.

Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party, was attacked during a tour of Busan.

South Korean politics is becoming messier as the proxy war between Lee and President Yoon continues.

The judge said the evidence collected so far raises “substantial suspicion” about Lee’s involvement in the Seongnam development case, but not to a level that warrants his detainment.

Despite the Democratic Party's majority, lawmakers voted to allow the party’s chair, Lee Jae-myung, to be arrested amid several corruption investigations.

South Korea’s political parties have taken divergent stances on how Seoul should position itself amid intensifying China-U.S. rivalry

South Korea has a glowing global reputation. So why do so many Koreans think “isaengmang” – this life is ruined?

In an unprecedented move, the leader of South Korea’s main opposition party has been summoned for questioning. 

The narrowest margin of victory in South Korea’s history showed how the country is divided in yesterday’s election.

Both Lee Jae-myung and Yoon Suk-yeol were forced to apologize after making controversial remarks about the Russian invasion.
