South Korea's Extraordinary Elections: Can They End the Political Crisis?

South Korea heads to the polls this Tuesday in an attempt to resolve the deep political crisis gripping its democracy. The failed coup attempt by former president Yoon Suk-yeol in December triggered months of institutional paralysis, culminating in these extraordinary elections. However, the controversy surrounding the leading opposition candidate, Lee Jae-myung, and his legal battles cast a shadow on hopes for stability. "These elections could be the final chapter in a long-running political drama," says Jaime Santirso, ABC's correspondent in Asia. The video shows footage from recent political rallies, illustrating the high stakes of the election. The outcome remains uncertain, but the election is a critical moment for South Korea's future.
