"With nearly 80% voter turnout, the election marks the highest engagement since 1997, showcasing South Korean citizens' active participation in the democratic process."
Lee Jae-myung is projected to become South Korea's next president after winning a significant portion of the vote in a snap election, leading with over 48 percent compared to conservative opponent Kim Moon-soo's 42.9 percent.

With a historic voter turnout of nearly 80%, Lee's victory marks a shift in leadership for the country as he prepares to take office amid expectations of Democratic Party reforms.
