South Korea's Presidential Election
South Korea's Supreme Court overturned a ruling clearing election frontrunner Lee Jae-myung of violating election law, potentially impacting his eligibility to run for president. The case could deepen societal divisions amidst political turmoil. Acting leader Han Duck-soo resigned to join the presidential race, with Finance Minister Choi Sang-mok stepping in as acting president. The Supreme Court found Lee guilty of publicly stating false facts, sending the case back to the appeals court.
