Bringing the country together will be the biggest challenge for whoever wins.When people vote on Tuesday, it will be six months to the day since they came out onto the streets to resist a military takeover.

After months of chaos, they are desperate to move forward, so the country can start addressing pressing issues that have been on hold, including tariff negotiations with US President Donald Trump.But more than anything they hope this election can restore their own confidence in their democracy, which has been badly shaken.At a baseball game in the capital Seoul last week – arguably the only place where Koreans are as tribal as they are about politics – both sides were united, acutely aware of this election's importance.

"I'm really concerned about our democracy," said Dylan, a data engineer. "I hope we have the power to save it and make it greater than before. My vote is a piece of power.""The next president needs to show people clearly and transparently what he is doing," said one man in his mid-20s. "We need to watch him carefully."
