The election can change the country’s political landscape as President Moon Jae-in’s term ends in May 2022. If candidate from the ruling party win a majority of the legislative seats, Moon will likely get more support in the last few years of his term. Based on the latest exit polls, it looks like this will be the case.“It’s also a very important time for the country, politically, so people want to express their opinions in matters of public concern during these unprecedented times.”
