South Korean opposition leader is stabbed by knife-wielding man
SEOUL, South Korea – South Korean opposition leader Lee Jae-myung was stabbed in the neck during a visit in the southeast city of Busan on Tuesday, police said, as few details about the motive for the attack were immediately available.
Lee, the chairperson of the main opposition Democratic Party, was leaving an event on Gadeok island, when an unidentified man pressed through a packed crowd of reporters and supporters and attacked him on the left side of his neck, according to a livestream video of the incident.
Lee, who was seen collapsing on the ground and bleeding in pictures by local media, was taken to the Pusan National University Hospital.
In a press conference outside the hospital, Democratic Party spokesperson Rep. Kwon Chil-seung said that medical professionals “suspect injury to his jugular vein” and “are concerned about additional loss of blood.” Kwon said Lee will be transported to Seoul for surgery.
Kwon called the attack “an act of terrorism against Lee Jae-myung and a serious threat to democracy.”
The attacker apparently posed as a supporter of Lee’s, the livestream footage shows, wearing a headpiece with a supportive message toward Lee. He was arrested on the scene and is being investigated by the police.
The attack comes just three months before South Korea’s general elections, a high-stakes event for both the ruling conservative People Power Party and Lee’s Democratic Party.
President Yoon Suk Yeol, who defeated Lee in the 2022 election with the paper-thin margin of 0.73% of the popular vote – the smallest in the country’s history – has frequently clashed with the parliament, where the DP holds more than 56% of seats.
Yoon’s approval ratings have remained at or below 35% through the past year. His party lost a crucial by-election in a Seoul ward last year, and the party’s former chief Lee Jun-seok, who is widely credited for bringing young male voters to Yoon’s support, recently left the party.
The DP and other opposition parties are pushing for a special probe on the suspected stock price manipulation scandal involving Yoon’s wife.
Lee, meanwhile, has been under intensive investigations by the police and prosecutors for his suspected involvement in a land development scandal and other criminal charges.
Support for his party has been similar to or slightly below the approval ratings of the ruling party in recent months, as the DP struggled with a bribery scandal involving a former chief and a number of lawmakers.
Lee’s visit in Busan on Tuesday – his first official schedule of the new year – is seen as an effort to woo support in the port city, which has traditionally been conservative-leaning.
Construction of a new airport, which was finalized during the liberal president Moon Jae-in’s term, is planned to break ground next year on the island where Tuesday’s attack took place.
President Yoon, according to his spokesperson Kim Soo-kyung, expressed deep concern over Lee’s safety and said such acts of violence should never be tolerated.
South Korea has seen a number of attacks against high-profile politicians in recent years. In 2006, Park Geun-hye, the then head of a conservative party who later became the president, was attacked with a knife during a campaign event. Last year, Lee Jae-myung’s predecessor Song Young-gil was attacked with a blunt weapon in Seoul.
In 2015, the then-U.S. ambassador to South Korea Mark Lippert was attacked on his face by an assailant wielding a knife.

Clyburn says record speaks for itself, warns GOP to ‘be very careful what you pray for’
CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCIV) — Rep. Jim Clyburn appeared on CNN’s State of the Union Sunday morning and said he remains confident he could win another term in a redistricted South Carolina.
Host Jake Tapper asked Rep. Clyburn what it would mean for South Carolina voters if his seat, which represents the state’s sixth congressional district, was eliminated. The congressman said voters will have the last word and he will run irrespective of the new makeup of his district.
“I don’t know why people think I could not get re-elected if they redistrict South Carolina,” he said before pointing out his district as currently drawn contains about 45% Black voters. “I have no idea what the demo will be after the legislature finishes [redistricting], but whatever that number is I will be running on a record and a promise – my record, and America’s promise.”
Clyburn, as one of the more prominent Democratic voices in American politics in the South over the past several decades, said his pitch to voters won’t change even if his new district is drawn to house more Republicans.
“I think that it is very clear to most people in America that voters, most voters, believe in fundamental fairness, most voters believe in competence, and most voters can tell the difference between a true public servant and someone who may be in it for the next social hit,” he said.

The 17-term representative also said he believes Republicans’ redistricting plan could backfire.
“Be very careful what you pray for, because what I do believe is that when they finish with the redistricting, there will be the possibilities of at least three Democrats getting elected here in South Carolina to the United States Congress,” he said.
If re-elected, Clyburn would begin his 18th term in Congress in 2027. He has served as South Carolina’s representative for its Sixth Congressional District, which through multiple gerrymanders spanning decades has comprised of different parts of the Pee Dee, Midlands, and Lowcountry in some capacity, since 1993.
State lawmakers have pushed the redistricting issue legislatively in the last week in the wake of the US Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais. A special session on redistricting passed on Thursday in the State House, and more House legislation to push back congressional primaries to August advanced to the House Judiciary Committee Friday. The issue is expected to be taken back up in Columbia this week.
