"South Korean Opposition Leader Lee Jae-myung Stabbed, Hospitalized in ICU"

South Korean opposition leader Lee Jae-myung is in intensive care after being stabbed in the neck during a campaign event. The attack has prompted calls for increased security for political figures ahead of a major election. Lee, who narrowly lost the 2022 presidential race, was targeted by an assailant with a camping knife, leading to a two-hour surgery to repair a major blood vessel. Political leaders across the spectrum have condemned the violence, and the suspect is in custody as the police investigate the motive. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of politicians in South Korea, a country with a history of political violence.
