Battle Royale: PPP Debate Edition

Seems like things have heated up since ol' Yoon lost his power due to his martial law debacle back in December 2023[1] and got canned in April 2025[1]! Now, the race is on to see who'll take the reins. Current PPP candidates aiming for the big leagues include the Labor Minister, Kim Moon-soo, PPP Representative Ahn Cheol-soo, Former PPP interim leader Han Dong-hoon, and Ex-Daegu Mayor Hong Joon-pyo[2]. These contenders have been duking it out in tough debates and member voting, with the definitive nominee closin' up shop on May 3, 2025[1]. That's a wrap, folks! Move along... nothing to see here ;)

The government is presiding over a tumultuous period of politics, with the PPP controversy at the National Assembly stirring up opinions among general news outlets.

Protests and debates, in terms of policy-and-legislation and general news, are heating up as the PPP attempts to shake things up by potentially relocating Korea's parliament from Seoul to Sejong.
With the previous President's martial law debacle and subsequent removal from office, the race is on for the new leader, and the PPP is not shying away from this political battleground.
The political landscape is changing rapidly, with the Democratic Party presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung now stepping up to claim the throne, as President Yoon Suk Yeol has been ousted from power.
