Lee Jae-myung seeks to reshape South Korea's policy

Lee Jae-myung, the front-runner in South Korea's presidential race, is poised to potentially reshape the nation's foreign policy and economy. He is expected to take a pragmatic approach. Lee, who lost the 2022 election by a slim margin, currently leads in polls with significant support. He recently resigned as leader of the Democratic Party to concentrate on his campaign amid rising regional tensions. His focus on national interests and diplomatic balance contrasts with the previous president's approach, drawing international attention. Lee emphasizes strong ties with the United States and cooperation with Japan.
