{"content":"BULLETPROOF GLASS? What happened to South Korea ? Source - BBC News South Korea is having an emergency vote to fix the country's serious problems. These problems started when ex-President Yoon Suk Yeol tried to take control using the military last December, but failed.  Because of this crisis, the president was removed from power. Now the country is deeply divided, and political fights are becoming more violent. The main opposition leader, Lee Jae-myung, is running for president with strong security because people have threatened to kill him. He says he will stop any future leaders from abusing their power. Promising constitutional reforms to limit presidential powers, Lee has gained support even from moderate voter, despite his controversial past.  The ruling conservative party, damaged by Yoon’s actions, nominated Kim Moon-soo, a former minister who initially defended martial law. Kim’s weak campaign and party infighting have further damaged his prospects. On the other side, Lee is trying to appear more practical. He's making his policies less extreme to attract business support and is promising stronger ties with America. This election is really about saving South Korea's democracy. After months of chaos, people just want peace and stability. If Lee wins big, he'll have strong power to make changes. But experts worry about giving one leader too much control, especially after what happened with Yoon. The results will show if South Korea can fix its divisions and make people believe in their government again.","images":["https://d2kdcqywr8ua22.cloudfront.net/uploadfile/article/blog/2025062025/06/02/47823dad491e4738bed7c21e95c3ecf3.jpg"],"tags":[],"tradingPairs":[],"quotearticleid":0}
