Lee Jae-Myung for the Wall Street Journal
A few days after the martial law declaration in South Korea, I was assigned by the Wall Street Journal to take the portrait of Lee Jae-Myung, the leader of the Democratic Party and main opponent to the conservative party. Not only has he is led the movement to impeach President Yoon Seok-Yeol, but he is the most likely candidate to take over the presidency in the next elections. We came to the National Assembly which still had signs of the recent attempted coup with broken doors and windows. I only had a few minutes for that portrait in the main debate room of the democratic party which had a giant poster calling for the impeachment.
