South Korea's New President Pledges National Unity | JQJO

South Korea's newly inaugurated President Lee Jae-myung has vowed to unite the nation following a snap election victory. His 49.4% win represents a rejection of his rival and a response to the political turmoil caused by the impeachment of former President Yoon Suk Yeol, who attempted to impose martial law. Lee aims to heal the country's deep divisions, balance US relations, and establish a pragmatic government. His win is seen as a reaction against the perceived democratic breakdown under Yoon, rather than overwhelming support for Lee's specific policies.
