Liberal Lee Jae-myung elected president of South Korea in snap election
South Korea's liberal party candidate, Lee Jae-myung, was elected president in Tuesday's (Jun 3) snap election - exactly six months after he evaded military cordons to vote against a shock martial law decree imposed by his ousted predecessor Yoon Suk Yeol. Lee won 49.42% of the nearly 35 million votes, defeating conservative rival Kim Moon-soo, who took 41.15% in the polls.
