South Korean opposition Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung was stabbed in the neck by a knife-wielding man during a visit to the city of Busan. The attacker approached Lee claiming that he wanted an autograph before stabbing him in the left side of his neck.
Lee was airlifted to a hospital in Seoul where he underwent surgery and doctors have not disclosed his status. Lee lost the 2022 presidential election to South Korea’s President Yoon Suk Yeol by a 0.7 margin.
