The history of the event is derived from the very special nature of the process of leading to this presidential election. Because of the decision to issue a military law in early December last year, President Yoon Suk Yeol belongs to the People's Power Party (PPP) deposed by the National Assembly and the Supreme Court after nearly 3 years of ruling. So Korean voters have to vote for presidents earlier than 2 years.
Mr. Yoon Suk Yeol's decision to declare martial law has pushed South Korea into the most serious crisis in decades in terms of security and political and social stability. Therefore, the presidential election on June 3 is a special new milestone in the history of the country and its results will tell what the upcoming future will be like in Korea.
According to the results of public opinion polls in Korea in recent days, Democratic presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung currently holds the majority in the National Assembly with the most elected prospects (42.9%) ahead of PPP Kim Moon-soo (36.8%) and New Reform Party Lee Jun-seok (10.3%).
This presidential election in Korea was strongly and extensively affected by the fact that the incumbent president was ousted (more disadvantageous to Mr. Kim Moon-soo and the PPP), due to deep Diversification in policy and within society, due to long-standing socio-economic difficulties that the president has been ousted from and could not solve such as promoting economic growth, creating jobs, fighting inflation, housing issues, social reform, etc.
No matter who becomes the new president of South Korea, he will have to face many un overcoming challenges both internally and internationally. All 3 candidates have not yet made recommendations and proposed policies that could give the results of quickly resolving the above internal problems.
Lee Jun-seok has no chance of winning the election, but the current supporters will help decide which of Lee Jae-myung and Kim Moon-soo to elect. If the new president of South Korea is Kim Moon-soo, the new era in this country will not be much different from before in terms of internal and external affairs, governance will continue to be difficult and political power instability will continue because the Democratic Party still controls the parliament and continues to lose cooperation with the president.
If Lee Jae-myung is elected president and is not harmed by court litigation and scandals in South Korea, there will be many major adjustments to foreign affairs and security in the new era in South Korea because this person has a quite basic difference in opinion compared to Mr. Yoon Suk Yeol and Mr. Kim Moon-soo.
As South Korean President, Lee Jae-myung is expected to pursue a balanced policy between the US and China, with a more gentle trend towards Beijing and a tougher stance on the new administration in Washington - despite still attaching importance to its allies with the US. He will also promote mediation and ease tensions with North Korea, while taking a tougher stance on Japan - in contrast to the approach of President Yoon Suk Yeol and candidate Kim Moon-soo.
The most mysterious work at the moment is not only who will win the election but also how the election results will be won. If only the election results are strictly controlled, whoever wins will have to quite basically adjust the planned and planned running strategy.
