TL;DR Summary

The man accused of stabbing South Korean opposition leader Lee Jae-myung in the neck did so because he wanted to prevent Lee from becoming president, according to police. The suspect, who posed as a supporter, left an eight-page note and had been following Lee for months. Lee has since recovered from the near-fatal attack and expressed hope that the incident would mark the end of divisive politics in South Korea, where tensions have been high ahead of an upcoming general election.
