Ask what Korea is talking about.

Kim Min-seok, leader of the Democratic Party, said on October 23 that he is "preparing in his heart" for a possible Seoul mayoral re-election, according to Chosun Ilbo. His remarks come as the Seoul High Court was set to rule Friday on Mayor Oh Se-hoon's political funds trial; if the appeals court upholds a ruling that strips Oh of his mayoral post, a re-election could be held in April next year. The court's decision is pending, and Kim's statement is seen as a response to that possibility.
