South Korea Election Results: Who is Lee Jae-myung, the presidential frontrunner?
South Korea will hold the final voting in a snap presidential election o June 3. Millions will vote to choose Yoon Suk Yeol's successor after the conservative was ousted over his imposition of martial law late last year. South Koreans overseas were allowed to vote early from May 20 to 25, BBC reported. South Korea election results are expected to come in after polls close — by the evening of June 3. The winner will likely be known in the early hours of the following day, June 4. Even though there are six candidates to choose from, the main contenders are Lee Jae-myung of the opposition Democratic Party of Korea (DP), and Kim Moon-soo of the governing conservative People Power Party (PPP). According to reports, Lee Jae-myung, a human rights lawyer-turned-politician, is the clear frontrunner. Surveys suggested liberal Lee Jae-Myung, 61, is heavily favored to win Tuesday's snap election, riding on a wave of public disappointment of Yoon's martial law debacle in December. Lee Jae-myung, for his part, has repeatedly questioned Kim Moon Soo's ties with Yoon. For the main conservative candidate, Kim Moon Soo, observers say his refusal to directly criticise Yoon made it difficult for him to narrow the gap with Lee, the Associated Press reported. In three Gallup Korea surveys released last week, 46% to 49% of respondents picked Lee as their choice for the next president, giving him a comfortable lead over Kim with 35% to 37%. Lee's rise comes as conservatives struggle to win back public confidence in the wake of Yoon's martial law decree that plunged the country into turmoil. Lee represents the main liberal Democratic Party. It will be Lee's third bid to run for president. He narrowly lost the 2022 election to Yoon. In 2017, Lee ranked third in a Democratic Party primary. He had spearheaded the opposition-controlled parliament's impeachment of Yoon over the imposition of martial law in December, before the Constitutional Court formally dismissed the latter in April. Yoon's dismissal prompted an early presidential election on June 3 to find a new president. According to the Associated Press, Lee has long established an image as an anti-establishment figure who can eliminate deep-rooted inequality and corruption in South Korea. However, his critics view him as a populist who relies on stoking divisions and demonising opponents and worry his rule would likely further polarise the country. Lee's life and works: In 1992, Lee married his wife Kim Hye-kyung, with whom he has two children. He worked as a human rights lawyer for almost two decades before entering politics in 2005. He had joined the social-liberal Uri Party -- a predecessor of the Democratic Party of Korea and the ruling party at the time. Lee previously served as the governor of South Korea's most populous province, Gyeonggi province, and the mayor of Seongnam city. Cases against Lee: Lee currently faces five trials for corruption and other criminal charges. If he becomes president, those trials will likely stop as he will enjoy special presidential immunity from most criminal charges. Lee's political career was reportedly marred by a series of scandals – including a drink driving incident in 2004, disputes with relatives in the late 2010s and allegations of an extramarital affair that emerged in 2018, BBC reported. Lee's foreign policy: The outcome of the 2025 South Korea election could reorient its approach towards North Korea. Accoridng to reports, Lee had earlier called for healing badly frayed ties with North Korea, saying peace can drive South Korea's economic growth. Lee promised to ease tensions with North Korea if elected, including by restoring a military hotline, and committed to maintaining the goal of eliminating nuclear weapons from the Korean Peninsula, Aljazeera reported. He also underscored the importance of a trilateral South Korea-US-Japan security partnership, saying it is crucial to maintain South Korea's alliance with the US and pursue security cooperation with Japan. Recently, Lee said that he thinks the US would pursue better ties with North Korea as a way to contain China and that such a stance would provide South Korea with diplomatic room to restore ties with the North. He has, however, pledged to prioritise 'national interests' and said there's 'no need to unnecessarily antagonise China or Russia', reports claimed.

Trump withdraws nomination of Musk ally to lead NASA
Donald Trump has dashed Elon Musk's hope that one of his close allies would run NASA by reneging on his nomination days before he was due to face the confirmation vote. The president maintains he backflipped on billionaire entrepreneur Jared Isaacman's appointment after learning of his past donations to the Democrats. But MAGA loyalists suspect Trump may have been set up to make the call by insiders who have it out for Elon Musk and are looking to hurt him by punishing his friend. Trump ally Laura Loomer wrote: 'There is reason to believe that Isaacman may be facing retaliation because of his friendship with Elon Musk. If so, this would suggest there is a coordinated hit job on Isaacman in an effort to damage ties between President Trump and Elon Musk before the 2026 midterms. Is President Trump aware of the ulterior motives by some individuals in the administration who have an interest in seeing Isaacman's nomination pulled?' The New York Times revealed on Sunday that Trump reportedly knew about Isaacman's donations from the moment he chose to nominate him to run NASA. Isaacman (Pictured) had reportedly disclosed that over the years he had donated to prominent Democrats, including in the past two campaign cycles. Musk has also donated to Democrats in the past, before going on to become the single largest benefactor to the MAGA movement during the last campaign in his push to see Trump return to the White House. Isaacman was selected by Trump at the height of his bromance with Musk, who has a long and storied connection with the fellow billionaire. It is understood that Musk lobbied for Isaacman's appointment and that Trump deferred to the SpaceX founder for the final decision. At the time, Trump described Isaacman as 'an accomplished business leader, philanthropist, pilot and astronaut.' He had been approved by a Senate committee and was headed to a confirmation vote this week when Trump suddenly pulled his nomination. The president gave Musk a heads up on Friday - his last day at the White House - that he intended to do so. Musk's time in the White House was fraught with tension and pushback from some of Trump's closest advisors, some of whom didn't like the access Musk had to the president and the power he wielded over departments with his Department of Government Efficiency. This has sparked rampant speculation that in the wake of his official departure as a Special Government Employee, that some of his foes are exacting revenge by getting in Trump's ear about Isaacman's nomination. Republican Senator and Trump ally Tim Sheehy wrote on X: 'Astronaut and successful businessman @RookIsaacman was a strong choice by President Trump to lead NASA. I was proud to introduce Jared at his hearing and strongly oppose efforts to derail his nomination.' It is understood that some of Trump's allies had been pressing him about Isaacman's donations to the Democrats in recent days, prompting Trump to renege on his offer. Loomer said despite his liberal ties, Isaacman was an ideal candidate to lead NASA, with 'unmatched credentials.' 'Isaacman was on track to get over 70 Senate votes. So why the sudden reversal and talks to pull his nomination?' she asked. 'Because the Deep State doesn't want President Trump to have allies like this in his administration.' White House assistant press secretary Liz Huston pushed back against any suggestion that the decision was not Trump's. 'The Administrator of NASA will help lead humanity into space and execute President Trump's bold mission of planting the American flag on the planet Mars,' she said. 'It's essential that the next leader of NASA is in complete alignment with President Trump's America First agenda and a replacement will be announced directly by President Trump soon.' And Trump himself appeared to quell concerns that he and Musk were on the outs on Sunday night, sharing a new picture to Truth Social of him with the former First Buddy and one of Musk's sons. Musk left his role less than a week ago and just days ahead of schedule, signing off with a warm X post praising Trump. But days earlier, he had openly criticized Trump's landmark 'big, beautiful bill' and lamented the treatment of his baby-faced DOGE henchmen during his time in the White House. He said: 'I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decreases it.' And in the days since his departure, a laundry list of allegations have surfaced about the simmering tensions between Musk and a handful of Trump's other allies. Former Chief Strategist Steve Bannon told that Musk's turbulent time in the White House was marred when he physically 'shoved' 62-year-old Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent after he was confronted over wild promises to save the administration 'a trillion dollars'. 'Scott Bessent called him out and said, 'You promised us a trillion dollars (in cuts), and now you're at like $100 billion, and nobody can find anything, what are you doing?'' the prominent MAGA figure revealed. 'And that's when Elon got physical. It's a sore subject with him. 'It wasn't an argument, it was a physical confrontation. Elon basically shoved him.' Bannon said the physical altercation came as the two billionaires moved from the Oval Office to outside Chief of Staff Susie Wiles' office, and then outside the office of the then National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz. 'Trump 100%' sided with Bessent after the clash, he added. 'I don't think Bessent has any bad blood, but he's got a job to do and he's going to do it.' The revelations of the Musk-Bessant clash follow an explosive New York Times report that alleged Musk was using a cocktail of drugs on the campaign trail including ketamine, ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms. Bannon added that Musk also lost status in Trump's orbit when it was leaked to the New York Times in March that the billionaire was preparing to receive top-secret military briefings on China, which Trump abruptly stopped. 'People in the administration and the White House realized he didn't have any idea what he's doing,' Bannon said. 'They cauterized the damage.' Separately, reports claimed Musk insulted Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, by accusing him in front of Trump, of not cutting back on his staff and clashed with Transport Secretary Sean Duffy for not firing enough air traffic controllers. He also called Peter Navarro, the architect of Trump's trade policy, 'a moron.'

Indian rupee ticks up on likely inflows related to an equity index rejig, traders say
MUMBAI: The Indian rupee strengthened on Monday, aided by likely dollar inflows related to the rejig of a global equity index that helped the local currency sidestep a dip in most of its regional peers as U.S.-China trade tensions continued to simmer. The rupee rose to 85.4075 per U.S. dollar as of 11:00 a.m. IST, up 0.2% from its close of 85.5775 in the previous session. Traders said the rupee was supported by dollar sales from at least two large foreign banks on the day, likely related to the rejig of a global equity index. The dollar index, meanwhile, was down 0.1% at 99.2 as uncertainty about U.S. trade policies rebounded after President Donald Trump said late on Friday that he plans to double duties on imported steel and aluminium and accused China of violating a bilateral deal to roll back tariffs. Asian currencies and stocks were mostly lower, with the offshore Chinese yuan down about 0.2% at 7.2163. India's benchmark equity indexes, the BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 , declined 0.5% each, tracking their regional peers. The rupee 'remains in consolidation mode, with a broad range of 85-86,' said Anil Bhansali, head of treasury at Finrex Treasury Advisors. Indian rupee flips back to monthly decline, lags Asian peers Bhansali recommends that exporters wait for 85.70 to sell dollars, while importers can hedge around 85.25 levels. The focus this week will be on the Reserve Bank of India's monetary policy meeting on Friday, at which a 25-basis-point rate cut is widely expected. 'Despite no pressing need for a third successive rate cut on June 6, we expect the MPC (monetary policy committee) to cut - an opportunistic move amid the lower than expected inflation outcome and outlook, and retain the stance as 'accommodative',' Barclays said in a note.
