Ask what Korea is talking about.

The special counsel team investigating ballot shortages in the June 3 local elections has asked the National Election Commission (NEC) to keep intact the 420 ballot boxes that drew no objections during its inspection at the Olympic Park handball arena, saying it may need to examine them further, Yonhap and Korea Times report on Oct. 30. The team had earlier completed a 12-hour on-site verification of about 2.47 million ballots stored at the arena, and moved the boxes to storage on Oct. 29, according to KBS World and Yonhap. Korean media coverage focuses on the procedural steps of the probe, with outlets like Maeil Business and Yonhap carrying the preservation request as breaking news, reflecting close public attention to the investigation's progress.
