Democratic Party of Korea lawmaker Kim Min-seok has been elected as the party leader. Representative Kim won with a message pledging to "support the government's state affairs solidly" by upholding "party-government unity." However, Representative Kim faces many challenges ahead, including President Lee Jae-myung's low approval ratings and internal party divisions. In particular, there is an analysis that the pro-Lee faction occupying a majority among the elected supreme members could be a burden for Representative Kim.
