We can be different from our parents.

South Korea's ruling Democratic Party has elected a new leader, with Kim Min-seok emerging as the winner. The party's internal election was marred by infighting and personal attacks, with candidates prioritizing loyalty to the party's progressive base over public opinion. The election took place on August 17, with Kim Min-seok, who had previously supported retaining the prosecution's supplementary investigation powers, ultimately backing their abolition, aligning with the party's hardline stance.

The outcome has been met with disappointment from some, who see the party as being out of touch with the public and more focused on internal power struggles.
