Who is Lee Jae-myung? Meet South Korea's newly elected president

Lee Jae-myung, the Liberal candidate contesting in South Korea's snap elections, has reportedly claimed victory on June 3. This victory comes soon after Suk Yeol's impeachment over a failed martial law decree, which plunged the country into a major political crisis. When 70% of the votes were counted, Lee had already held a strong lead at 48.523%, which prompted his election rival, Kim Moon-soo, to concede defeat at an early stage. #election
