Lee Jae-myung Wins Snap Presidential Vote in South Korea

  • Lee Jae-myung won a snap presidential election on June 3, 2025, in South Korea and is set to take office on Wednesday.
  • Lee's rise to power came after political upheaval, including the removal of former president Yoon Suk Yeol following his controversial decision to send military forces into the legislative building six months earlier.
  • Lee began working in a factory to help support his family following his departure from school, eventually rising to become mayor of Seongnam, governor of Gyeonggi Province, and ultimately the president.
  • He secured 49.4% of the vote with 79.4% turnout, defeating conservative rival Kim Moon-soo by over eight points in the highest turnout since 1997.
  • Despite ongoing legal challenges postponed by presidential immunity, Lee pledges to unify the nation, boost AI industry, and hold martial law perpetrators accountable.
