TL;DR Summary

South Korea's liberal opposition parties are projected to win a significant victory in the parliamentary election, potentially securing a combined 200 seats out of 300, which could limit conservative President Yoon Suk Yeol's influence for the remainder of his term. The ruling People Power Party is expected to suffer a significant defeat. The election is seen as a mid-term confidence vote on President Yoon, who has faced low approval ratings and opposition-controlled parliament. The outcome may lead to a political deadlock and intensifying political challenges for Yoon, impacting his domestic agenda and setting the stage for the next presidential race.
