- South Koreans are going to the polls in a parliamentary election seen as a referendum on President Yoon Suk Yeol. A polarizing campaign has focused largely on resentment and personality. A failure by Yoon's governing People Power Party to restore a majority in parliament could see him become a lame duck for the rest of a term that lasts until 2027.
Pre-election surveys show that the liberal opposition parties are likely to hold onto a strong position in South Korea's single-chamber, 300-member National Assembly.
The 60-year-old Lee is also under investigation over a string of allegations, including alleged bribery linked to illicit transfers to North Korea. Lee, whose party favors a less hawkish stance on North Korea and who has made several pro-China remarks, denies all charges.
Lee's DP has also seized on a gaffe by Yoon last month as he talked about the "reasonable" cost of green onions. The staple in Korean cooking has recently soared in price, and the comment led to criticism that the president was out of touch.

Yoon is way way way worse than Trump. Yoon must go asap.
so is his wife
True, 3 more years are too long
Only a fascist will ban green onions from the election polls.
That is a far stretch
Facism isn't dictatorship
Seems like a lot of countries are facing political gridlock these days. Even so, it is better to have gridlock than autocracy.
Why? An autocracy is bad or good based on the leader, its not the problem of the system. Democracy is the real problem.
Who said that it would be a close race? No way!
The election also has a significant impact on South Korea's economic and foreign policy, which are also important to the world. ex.) South Korea's policy of supporting Ukraine and Taiwan
Beyond its relationship with North Korea, South Korea hasn’t played a significant role. As Taiwan, Japan, and the U.S. deepen their ties through a semiconductor alliance aimed at China, it seems South Korea, being too closely aligned with ‘red’ countries, is not fully welcomed as a partner.
Yoon is too dangerous for SKorea who would lead the country into Korean War 2.0
But why is Taiwan and Ukraine important? S Korea is more important economically or culturally than these two.
No ways. Yoon's foreign policy is just to step back on such international security issues. And whatever his foreign policies are, the election result will hardly have a huge impact on it. Two prominent Korea experts, Victor Cha and Scot Snyder already concluded so.
Wow! Great job! This Korean Journalist, Grace Shin is a great speaker and concise with her statements. Very beautiful too.
Very well spoken interviewee. After the last few with difficult accents, it was a pleasant change to not have to concentrate too hard in order to understand ^^
All I want to know is why everyone in the video thumbnail seems to be cheering on a bag of leeks.
The election committee banned the voters from bringing “big scallions” (“daepa” (대파) about the size of the leeks) to the poll station because it was deemed as a political protest against the ruling party.
About a month ago, President Yoon made a visit to a supermarket, held up a bunch of big scallions on discount for 875 KRW and commented “it’s a reasonable price!”
But it happens that the discount was only for that merchandise, only for that week, less than 1/4 the current average price while the food price here has been soaring crazy for almost a year -a suspicious act of cozing-up to an ignorant leader that everyone began to jeer at.
Besides, the Korean word “daepa” (대파) is homonymous with a Sino-Korean word “大破” (daepa), which means “great defeat,” so the opposing party was happy to pick up the word and start playing with it.
😂😂
Its a dig at pres. Yoon because he doesnt know how much leeks cost 😂
To be more precise, average spring onion prices for one “dan” (unit for a specific bunch of spring onions in Korea) was around $2.5-4USD each, while the citizens were complaining of the surge in fruits and vegetable price increases. But when president Yoon visited a supermarket on camera the supermarket dropped the prices of many stocks in that specific store, with the spring onions priced at around 0.8-1USD each - and now spring onions have become a symbol of resistance against the reigning administration.
There was a political scandal. The current president wanted to be seen as doing well so much, that he visited some market in front of the press to check the food price. The leek, actually the green onion, was unreasonably cheap in front of the press -- presumably staged -- to which he remarked "the price is reasonable". This ignited public outrage because that is so disconnected from the reality. There were a sequence of political communication failures by the governmental party regarding the issue -- they couldn't just say "sorry". The green onion has become a symbol of protest since then.
I live in China. Sorry for the Covid!
Can anyone tell me what an *"election"* is?
Ask Russia
Ask north Korea
S Korea’s first female President Park Geun-hye (2013-2017) was impeached, convicted, and removed from office for corruption.
If you live in China, why are you on TH-cam?
@@birdsnature6421 everyone who's educated has VPNs. There's no enforced crackdown on it despite it being illegal
Yoon is worse than Trump.
congratulation SKorea. A reignition of the Korean war has been canceled.
쪽팔린다 저딴 재판중인 사람을 찍고 선거관리도 개판 부실 혹은 부정선거
It seems that the pro-North Korea party is once again making significant progress. It seems that South Korea is too closely aligned with being a 'red' nation.
hhhh😅
There is no pro-North Korean party in South Korea😂
@@user-dv5if1hm2w是的韩国社会主义政党也不亲朝
@@user-dv5if1hm2w I'm korean and there are a lot of pro-NK parties here, including democratic party, labor party and green party.
Their main agenda is the withdrawal of the U.S. military (which could increase the nuclear and missile threats from China and North Korea), the nuclear power phase-out, the legalization of the communist movement in South Korea, the abolition of the National Security Law(actually, the law is intended to ferret out and arrest hundreds of underground organizations in South Korea under orders from North Korea), the transfer of hundreds of millions of dollars (under the mask of peace) for the survival of the Kim Jung-Un's kingdom, military technology assistance to NK, anti-European and Western countries.
틀딱이세요? 글로벌로 가지가지하네
South Korea 🇰🇷 condemn Russia 🇷🇺 but support Israel 🇮🇱 war crimes in Palestine 🇵🇸
Double standards South Korea 🇰🇷
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Free Palestine!
No more holocaust!
From S. Korea!🙏
No
There is no official Palestine right now.
Free Western Sahara, Free Kabylia, Free Azawad, Free Balochistan, Free Kurdistan, Free Assyria, Free Sarawak, Free South Maluku, Free Papua
Korea generally does not support Israel but under strong US influence. Many Korean citizens condemn Israel and its criminal acts.
