Simple leadership before the 2025 presidential election

On June 3, South Korea will elect a new president to replace Juno Suka Yola, who was removed from the post of martial law in December.

The winners will be instructed to manage the political and economic case of the relocation of Jono, who plunged into the country into deep upheavals and distinguished deep divisions in society.

The election is also held against the backdrop of prolonged problems such as the threat from North Korea and the solution of the lowest birth rate in the world.

Here’s how the Eastern Asian nation is about 52 million people choosing its new leader over the next five years.

Yun was to fulfill the president’s duties by 2027, but his term ended with shame.

He shocked the nation, stating on the martial law on December 3, citing the threats of “anti -state forces” and North Korea, but it soon became clear that he had been pushed his own political troubles.

A week later, it was recorded by parliament. On April 4, the Constitutional Court supported it impeachment and constantly dismissed him, setting the basis for the election of the presidential election within 60 days, as required by the law.

Five tumultuous months after the martial law Yon in the country there were three acting presidents, the most recent-jo-minister of labor, who took on the role a month before the election.

Lee was replaced by Prime Minister Khan Daco, who himself was impeaching a few weeks after Jono took on acting. Finance Minister Choy Sang-Mock fulfilled the president’s duties before Khan was restored in March.

Jono’s martial law laid in a deep political division between the supporters of the Yun and his Conservative Party Power Power (PPP), as well as those who support opposition leader Lee Jaun and the Liberal Democratic Party.

It also shaved the public’s confidence in the economy in critical time when US President Donald Trump has unleashed his tariffs for America’s trading partners, and South Korea’s goods collided with 25%.

Then the new president will have a direct task to solve these problems.

But there are constant problems such as relations with North Korea. While the beginning of 2025 was relatively futile, there was an increased tension, as both sides sent balloons and drones that transported propaganda materials across the border.

On a broader scale, the new leader must balance Seoul’s relationship between the largest trading partner, Beijing and the most important Washington Security.

There is also the task of arresting the country’s birth rate, which is one of the lowest in the world.

In 2024, the country’s fertility level or the average number of children, which is expected in life, was 0.75. While it has increased slightly since the previous year, it remains much lower than 2.1 to maintain the country’s population of 51 million.

The polls posted the John John from the Liberal Democratic Party as a leader among the six candidates, and followed by Kim Moon Su, a candidate for the Conservative PPP.

Lee, who losed Yun from the subtle razor in 2022, his fans welcome as a working class hero. He worked at the plant before he became a lawyer for human rights and politicians. He promised to create a “real republic of Korea” with work and fair society.

Kim, the former Minister of Labor, positioned himself as a president on the economy, promising the creation of a business environment and creating jobs.

Other Jun-Shak candidates from the new reform batch, Kwon Young GUK from the Democratic Party and two independent kio-Ahn and the song Jin-Ha.

For the first time in 18 years, there is no woman running for the president. The first woman running for the country’s president was Gan Suk-Ji in 1987, but she retreated before the vote. There were four candidates in the 2012 elections.

The election is scheduled for June 3, and the polling station will be opened from 06:00 local time (22:00 GMT) to 20:00. The South Koreans were allowed to vote from May 20 to May 25.

The results are expected to come after the polls are closed, and the winner will probably be known at the beginning of the next day.

When Yeon defeated Lee in 2022, he was announced the winner of nine hours after the voting closing, or at 04:40 in the morning after the election day.

It was the closest presidential competition in the history of the country, at which Yun won 0.73% in the vote.

The new president will immediately take office and, unlike many of his predecessors, will not have the benefits of the official transition from Yun.

Yoon is facing a lawsuit for accusation of an uprising that arose from the Declaration of Martial Status.

In January this year, he became the first session of the South Korean president, which was arrested after investigators scale the barricades and cut through the barbed wire to take him into custody. A few weeks later, he was removed from the detention during the technicality.

He was recently accused of abuse of power.

Before the election, Yon threw his party in saying that according to analysts, this is an attempt to pull the chances of the carrier of the standard PPP by Kim Moon Su.
