SEOUL (Reuters) — South Korean acting President Lee Ju-ho said on Friday he will ensure government functions are stabilized and the June 3 presidential election is managed fairly, following the resignations of the prime minister and finance minister.
Education Minister Lee took over as the third acting leader of Asia’s fourth-largest economy, thrust into the job of shepherding the country out of a period of political and economic turmoil triggered by a martial law attempt last year by ousted President Yoon Suk Yeol and sweeping U.S. tariffs.
