💨 Abstract
Liberal Lee Jae-myung was inaugurated as South Korea's new president amidst vibrant celebrations, following a tumultuous six months that included martial law and the impeachment of his predecessor, Yoon Suk Yeol. Lee's victory comes after a period of significant political turmoil, with South Koreans facing deep divisions along political, social, and economic lines. Lee, who supports stronger welfare programs and reconciliation with North Korea, must now unite a divided nation and navigate relations with the U.S.
