This week's episode looks back at the results of last weekend’s South Korean presidential election where Yoon Suk-yeol triumphed over Lee Jae-myung. Following the very tight results, Sam and Chern dissect what could have made the difference in the closing days and give Yoon the narrow upper hand. Did Ahn Cheol-soo’s late withdrawal give Yoon the advantage, or was it surprising how few of Ahn’s voters made their way to the Yoon campaign? Conversely did Sim Sang-jung remaining in the race disadvantage Lee and narrowly split the progressive vote? What will the Yoon presidency look like, especially with the context of a Democratic National Assembly? All these questions and more answered in this week’s podcast.
