Ask what Korea is talking about.

The special counsel team investigating the June 3 local election ballot shortage completed a 12-hour on-site verification of roughly 2.47 million ballots on Thursday, then moved the boxes out of the handball arena in southern Seoul where they had been stored since the elections, according to KBS World and Yonhap. The ballots, which include those cast in Seoul's southeastern Songpa Ward, had been kept at the gymnasium, which served as a vote counting center, as protesters blocked their removal amid calls for accountability and a rerun. Lawmakers from both ruling and opposition parties visited the inspection site and urged a thorough review, KBS World reports. The inspection had earlier been halted when some observers objected to a ban on recording, KBS World adds.
