On Wednesday, voters will participate in a crucial electoral process to select 300 lawmakers, shaping Korea's political trajectory for the next four years.

 

This decision holds the power to either bolster the ruling bloc's agenda and objectives or convey a resounding message of disapproval towards its performance and policies.

 

 

 

Analysts and politicians anticipate significant upheaval in the political landscape, regardless of the election outcome.

 

This upheaval is expected to impact Yoon's governance and trigger power struggles within both the DPK and the PPP.
