Lee Jae-myung wins South Korea presidency

Lee's win, he adds, shows that voters had put South Korea's democracy "above all else".

Code: Status quo or else.

He faces a trial in the Supreme Court over charges of violating the election law. The court postponed the trial until after the election to avoid interference because a conviction could have barred him from contesting.
But it's not clear what happens if Lee is now found guilty, though the law says sitting presidents cannot be prosecuted for criminal offences, with the exception of insurrection or treason.

In bad Korea, ruling heads of state cannot be prosecuted for any crime lesser than literal treason.

he will also need to reach across the aisle and work with the PPP

Please work across the aisle with the party that tried to install martial law.

Let's see that 3rd party that only got 7% of the votes, maybe they're demsuccs...

Lee Jun-seok of Reform Party drew widespread backlash for asking whether sticking chopsticks in women’s genitals was misogyny

- This is like the sixth Occupied Korean government in a row to try rigging elections/engage in voter fraud/have an unironic deepstate/implement marital law, right? Any criticisms of the DPRK has been pure projection.
