South Korea politics

Though Lee attempted to sideline the issue during the campaign, gender conflict has continued, subtly but powerfully, to shape voter behavior in South Korea.

The election next week is an opportunity to address fundamental human rights deficits that preceded Yoon’s tenure – yet such commitments remain notably absent from major candidates' platforms. 

In the wake of Yoon Suk-yeol’s poor performance, the country has severely been polarized. Now the public hopes the new president will integrate the country.

The candidates are set, despite some twists in the ruling party’s primary process. Now the 21-day presidential campaign has officially begun.

The heavily favored opposition candidate will now be able to run in the upcoming snap election, despite a shocking intervention from the Supreme Court.

Despite his victory in the People Power Party’s primary elections, he will likely be sidelined as a candidate in the coming days.

South Korea’s political and constitutional chaos have entered a new phase, one that will likely last even after the June 3 presidential election.

The conservative People Power Party has narrowed its slate down to two candidates: Kim Moon-soon and Han Dong-hoon. But it might be a third man who ends up being the PPP's presidential pick.

After setting a record for the share of votes received during the party’s primary elections, Lee aims to win the presidential election scheduled on June 3.

Han and his ministers are rushing to sign a trade deal with Washington, but their primary job as an acting government is to maintain a status quo. 

The polls show the opposition leader will win a landslide victory, but the ruling People Power Party still maintains its stance that Yoon’s martial law was inevitable and justified. 

The Yoon era is over, but the South Korean polity is divided more than ever.
