Description
Former child factory worker Lee Jae-myung, a school dropout maimed in an industrial accident as a teen, is a maverick candidate in South Korea's upcoming elections, which are due to take place on March 9.
While cultural hits from "Squid Game" to Oscar-winner "Parasite" have raised South Korean inequality to global prominence, South Korean politics is dominated by the wealthy and well-connected, with most parliamentarians classed as millionaires according to their declared assets.
Polls show Lee is in a tight race with his rival candidate Yoon Suk-yeol,from the People Power Party. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
