South Koreans are choosing a new president in a quick election because Yoon Suk Yeol was removed from his position. He was accused of rebellion after he announced martial law for a short time. The liberal candidate, Lee Jae-myung, is likely to win, using the public's anger with the conservatives. This election is happening when the country is very divided, which could make things difficult for the new president. The new leader will start a five-year term immediately. They will have to deal with problems like a slower economy, Trump's "America First" policies, and North Korea's nuclear threats. Before the election, polls showed that Lee would win. He is known for speaking out against the conservative government and wanting a more active foreign policy. But his critics think he is a dangerous politician who doesn't keep his word.
