Ask what Korea is talking about.

An appeals court on Friday acquitted Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon of political funding charges linked to opinion polls conducted ahead of his 2021 mayoral by-election, overturning a lower court conviction that had threatened his tenure. The Seoul High Court ruled the allegations did not hold, and the main opposition People Power Party welcomed the decision. A special counsel team said it will appeal the ruling, according to KBS World. The acquittal is seen as reviving Oh's potential presidential run and easing a threat that had overshadowed his fifth term, the Korea Times reports.
