Yesterday was a day off for lots of people since it was election day. Guess who won with 48% of the votes? That's right: Grand National Party (GNP) Lee Myung-Bak, former Seoul mayor and successful businessman.
Lee was recently under investigation for stock manipulation and embezzlement schemes in the BBK company. He stated he knew nothing about that company - claim which was under the spot this week after the opposition party revealed a tape in which Lee states that he is proud of his achievements with BBK. Go figure!
The two previous Korean governments have put a lot of stress on Korean society - as economy and North Korea were hot issues. Koreans trust that with his business background and political experience, Lee will improve the country's economic health.
