Liberal candidate Lee Jae-myung is forecast to win South Korea’s snap presidential election.

Exit poll shows Lee projected to obtain 51.7% of the total votes cast, beating main conservative candidate Kim Moon Soo on 39.3% .

Lee 's archrival and then conservative President Yoon Suk Yeol was removed from office over his short-lived imposition of martial law.

Experts say both Lee and Kim avoid unveiling ambitious foreign policy goals.

Lee ’s government could become engaged in “a little bit of friction” with the U.S. , Chung Jin-young says.

Lee has preached patience over the tariff policy, arguing it would be a mistake to rush negotiations in pursuit of an early agreement with Washington .
