After months of political turmoil, South Korea's opposition leader, Lee Jae-myung, has secured a decisive victory in the presidential election.
His win follows the impeachment of former President Yoon Suk Yeol, whose controversial martial law attempt sparked widespread protests.
Lee now faces the immense challenge of uniting a deeply divided nation and navigating complex international relations.
His priorities include addressing domestic issues and negotiating crucial trade agreements, particularly with the United States.
