Video Description

Opposition's Lee Jae-myung will become South Korea's next president, winning the country's first election since impeachment chaos. Kim Moon-soo of the People Power Party conceded defeat and congratulated Lee in a brief speech on Wednesday, just after midnight local time. Millions voted on Tuesday in a snap election triggered by former president Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment over his failed martial law bid. The election has been shaped by the fallout from Yoon's brief but disastrous move in December, which triggered divisive protests and months of political chaos.
