The New President Of South Korea
South Korea’s opposition leader, Lee Jae-myung, won the presidential election after months of political instability. His predecessor, Yoon Suk Yeol, was removed from office for trying to impose martial law, triggering protests.
Lee’s victory is seen as a rejection of Yoon’s party, which faced public anger over the crisis.
Lee, a former human rights lawyer, promised to restore democracy and unite the divided country. However, he still faces challenges, including a Supreme Court trial over election law violations. If found guilty, his presidency could be at risk.
Globally,Lee must negotiate trade deals with the U.S., especially under Donald Trump’s new tariffs. South Korea’s economy is struggling, making this a top priority.
Lee acknowledged the tough road ahead, vowing to meet public expectations. Analysts say his biggest test will be healing political divisions while holding Yoon’s allies accountable. His success depends on balancing these challenges.
