"South Korean Opposition Leader Recovers from Near-Fatal Stabbing Attack"

South Korean opposition leader Lee Jae-myung was stabbed in the neck by a man who told police he wanted to prevent Lee from becoming president. The suspect, who acted alone, had been dissatisfied with authorities' handling of corruption allegations against Lee. Lee, released from the hospital after surgery, called for an end to "politics of hatred" and expressed gratitude to his supporters. The attack comes amid heightened political tensions in South Korea, with Lee being a vocal critic of President Yoon Suk Yeol and a potential candidate for the 2027 presidential election.
