Democratic Party (DP) candidate Lee Jae-myung defeated the ruling right-wing People Power Party in South Korea’s presidential elections. However, the DP’s failure to win an absolute majority leaves the new government in a troublesome position, writes Youngsu Won.
Eleven historic days of popular struggle sealed President Yoon Suk-yeol’s fate, following his declaration of martial law. Yoon’s impeachment represents a tremendous triumph of people power, but the struggle is not over, writes Won Youngsu.
Yoon Suk-yeol, South Korea’s right-wing president, attempted to maintain his power through the implementation of martial law, but was defeated within six hours by a people’s uprising, reports Chon Kai Choon.
