Lee Jae-myung Projected as 21st President of South Korea: What to Take Away

For insights, Attorney An Junseong joins us live.

Mr. An, thank you for coming on so early in the morning.

1. We now have a clear picture of who the winner is. Lee Jae-myung of the Democratic Party of Korea is highly projected as South Korea's 21st president. How do you see the election result?

2. It's another leadership change from a conservative government to a liberal one. What were the possible factors that led to this result?

3. Lee Jae-myung delivered his victory speech in Yeouido. He seemed to have chosen his words carefully. What did you make of his speech?

4. The new government will be launched right away without a transition team. What should we expect from the new president on day 1?

5. Now, Lee Jae-myung has won the presidential election, and the Democratic Party of Korea holds a majority in parliament. What does this mean for the new administration?

6. This year's estimated voter turnout stood at almost 80-percent --the highest in nearly three decades. What does this number tell us about voter engagement?

Q. It's a snap election to be held after a president was impeached. How would you describe this election?

Q. The country witnessed the short-lived martial law some six months ago, and now it's holding a snap election. How would you assess the system of Korea's democracy and its resilience?

Q. Social division and ideological conflict are nothing new, but they have been highlighted more than ever. What would be the task of the next president with this issue in mind?
