South Korea's former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo to contest Jun 3 presidential election
South Korea's third Acting President in five months Lee Ju-ho has vowed to ensure stability, after former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo and former Finance Minister Choi Sang-mok resigned in quick succession, threatening to push the country into deeper political turmoil ahead of the presidential election on Jun 3. Mr Han has entered the presidential race, with only a month left before the election. Several South Koreans said it was irresponsible for Mr Han to resign at a critical time, but some felt he could be in a good position as president to negotiate with the US, which is threatening to impose sweeping tariffs. Lim Yun Suk reports.
