Description
Polls opened early Wednesday as South Koreans began to vote for their next president, with the race a tight battle between the two frontrunners liberal Lee Jae-myung and conservative Yoon Suk-yeol.
Election day is a public holiday in the country of 44 million voters, with polling booths open from 6 am (2100 GMT) to 6 pm.
"I had a hard time deciding who to vote for. I ended up choosing the least worst candidate," says one voter.
Another voter says: "Watching Russia and Ukraine at war, I wish (the new president) will make sure to prevent any war in Korea. I also hope our economy gets better."
