Kim Moon-soo, a former labour minister and veteran political figure, has been nominated as South Korea’s main conservative party’s presidential candidate for the June 3 snap election.
At the party’s national convention on Saturday in Goyang City in Gyeonggi Province, Kim, 73, received 56.5 percent of the vote.
After South Korea’s Constitutional Court declared him inviolably in full force by declaring martial law on December 3, the election was sparked by his dramatic impeachment.
The decision forced the nation to cast an early ballot to elect Yoon’s replacement and ended his presidency.
Former Labour Party official under Yoon and governor of Gyeonggi Province in South Korea from 2006 to 2014, Kim retired from that position and later moved to the conservative camp.
Kim will face Lee Jae-myung, a candidate for the liberal Democratic Party, in a poll conducted on Monday that showed Kim to have 13% support, compared to Kim’s. Lee Jae-myung is still the clear frontrunner.
If elected, Kim has pledged to put business-friendly policies into place. In his acceptance speech, he promised to take a tough line against North Korea, establish incentives for businesses, and promote innovation and science. He also promised to adopt a radical conservative outlook for the nation.
He also made a pledge to improve laws that support young people and the underprivileged, citing his own experiences as a labour and democracy activist while he was a student, for which he was jailed and kicked out.
He claimed that “I have never abandoned the weakest among us in the lowest places.”
However, a court ruling this week shook the election, overturning a lower court’s acquittal that found him guilty of breaking election law in a previous race, and raised questions about Lee’s eligibility to run for president.
When a new ruling will be made, it was unknown when the Supreme Court sent the case back to an appeals court.
Ella Rae Wise, a reality TV star, has spoken out about her breakup with TOWIE co-star Dan Edgar and admitted she was “hurt” by fans’ comments.
Ella and Dan called it quits a few weeks before she entered the Celebrity Big Brother home.
Ella-Rae Wise has opened up about the emotional toll of her recent break-up with TOWIE star Dan Edgar, admitting she’s been left “hurt” by fans’ speculation over the timing of their split. The TOWIE duo called time on their romance just before she entered the Celebrity Big Brother house.
Ella, 24, was seen in tears inside the famous ITV house as she opened up on the split. A few days after entering the reality programme, she opened up about their relationship. She was comforted by her housemates JoJo Siwa and Angellica Bell as she broke down in tears about the very recent heartbreak.
Ella and Dan were having a disagreement over their breakup in the Big Brother home.
She said, “I think people forget that I went in after a really fresh break-up,” adding only that she was upset about it. Hearing people say I split with Dan just to go in there with a big game plan is hurtful. That has never occurred. Behind closed doors, things hadn’t worked out for a few weeks. It was a decision of everyone’s. We’re still friendly, and we’ve never got into a fight.
This comes after Dan, 34, surprised fans with his latest statement over his relationship with Ella, as their break up is yet to be aired on The Only Way Is Essex.
In the most recent reality TV episode, Dan is reportedly talking about Ella with Roman Hackett and Diags. The pair only becoming a hit because of their ongoing dating, Dan claimed he never formally requested Ella be his girlfriend.

Are you going to ask [Ella] to be your girlfriend, Roman, a perplexed Roman asked Dan?
Dan responded, “It wasn’t that I was never going to ask her; it just came to a point where I thought we were both content and just going with the flow.”
Diags retorted, saying Ella would have preferred to be asked informally and that he should have told him to “Pull your finger out of your a*** and ask her.”

Dan then responded, claiming that he had informed her that they were together. He told his pals, “We are in a relationship,” before Diags sarcastically referring to the gesture as “so romantic.”
Before Celebrity Big Brother got under way, Ella revealed the duo had gone their separate ways. She said at the time the duo had struggled on agreeing on their futures.
“I’m 24, I don’t want to live out there,” Ella explained to The Sun. “I just feel our stars aren’t aligned. I just feel that he’s really conscious about wasting time with someone.”
Ella also told her co-stars, “It’s just one of them things,'” she told them about the split. Everyone makes me feel like an idiot, so… I was already anticipating what I wanted him to be. And I initially believed he might work for me, but he might just be… And I don’t want to spend years trying to change anyone. Do you comprehend my definition?
The romance between Dan and Ella first broke out last year while traveling to Bali with the cast.

Following the incident, Dan took to social media to express her regret on how the past week has seen an odd turn of events and things said that he didn’t really want to comment on. However, Ella and I made an agreement to end our relationship last week and spoke up until she left the house to enter.
There are some things in life that I would prefer to keep private, despite the fact that we both have reasons for why it wasn’t working out. I wish her the best of luck and hope she finds her experience enjoyable.

Fred VanVleet scored 29 points as the Houston Rockets beat the Golden State Warriors 115-107 to level their NBA play-off first-round series at 3-3 and force a deciding game seven.
Experienced point guard VanVleet starred for the Rockets, adding eight assists and eight rebounds to his points haul, while Alperen Sengun recorded a double-double with 21 points and 14 rebounds.
The Warriors held a commanding 3-1 lead in the series but have twice failed to close it out, losing to the Rockets in game five on Wednesday and again in game six on Friday.
Rockets head coach Ime Udoka said of VanVleet: “He’s had some really good stretches lately.
“He knows what it is. He’s been a champion. Been there, done that. So I wouldn’t expect anything less than that from him.”
Warriors coach Steve Kerr added: “I thought we got some good looks against the zone but then, once they pulled away by 10 or 12, it was easier for them to run us off the line.”
Troubled pop icon Britney Spears was married to Iranian-American actor Sam Asghari for 14-months, with the couple splitting in July 2023, seven years after the start of their relationship

Sam Asghari has been enjoying a loved-up holiday with his girlfriend Brooke Irvine – who fans have pointed out bears a resemblance to his superstar ex-wife Britney Spears.
The 31-year-old actor/DJ/estate agent was in a seven year relationship with the Oops I Did It Again singer, 42, with the pair marrying in 2022, shortly after she was released from the controversial conservatorship she was placed under in February 2018. During their total seven years together, Sam had a front row seat to the struggles faced by Britney at the hands of her father and the lawyers who were legally responsible for her day to day decisions and choices.
In a recent swipe at the singer, Sam said of his new relationship: “It’s all about love. That’s what it is.”

He added to US Weekly: “It’s not about the industry, it’s not about Hollywood.
“It’s about what really is the most important thing, and that’s being present, being in the moment and supporting others that are doing this same thing.”

Meanwhile, he recently told Page Six that he found the set-up during the conservative era valuable – particularly when he was invited to be a contestant on the US version of The Traitors.
He said: “I’ve learned a lot in the past five or six years being exposed to that (darker) side of Hollywood. And it’s quite a blessing.
“It was a quick crash course in Hollywood and it sort of helped me. I figured it would be a good tool to actually help me in the Traitors game as well.
“You have to be careful in every industry. Not just in Hollywood. You have to always be careful and protect yourself and protect the people that you love.”
Sam and former cheerleader Brooke went public on January 1, and are frequently photographed running errands or hanging out in Hollywood. At the moment, the pair are holidaying in Mexico – where Britney is also enjoying a sun soaked break.
A source close to Britney told the Daily Mail that she is happy for the new couple, but hopes Sam has given up one particularly annoying habit.

“While she is so happy that he has found a beautiful blonde woman who is more his age, her only hope is that he treats her with the love and respect that she deserves and spends quality time with her rather than playing video games all day long.
“Britney is not looking back and has nothing but love for him and Brooke.”
Right now mum-of-two Britney is busy enjoying a sunny holiday in Mexico, where she worried fans shortly after arriving after she was spotted walking through the airport with a bodyguard who carried a plastic doll wrapped in a blanket.
There was no sign of the doll in her latest social media posts. In one she dances to We No Speak Americano by Yolanda Be Cool in the doorway of a cabin, the sea (and a bodyguard) behind her.

Wearing a tiny green and yellow bikini, she accessorised with a brown fedora, a crocheted white flower choker, and some mirrored aviator shades.
Other than her bodyguards, Britney has gone on holiday alone. She was immediately whisked to the five-star, £50,000 a week, Las Ventanas al Paraiso Resort, a spectacular beachside oasis overlooking the azure waters of the Sea of Cortez. There, the mum of two posted videos of herself sunnying herself in a green bikini.

The doll – or “baby” – was not in obvious sight but, since the witness spoke to the Mail Online, fans and those who know Britney have expressed their concern about the star. One former associate told the publication: “Britney looks lost. She’s on holiday with her two bodyguards and a plastic life-sized baby doll. Doesn’t she have any real friends? It’s sad. It is troubling to see her this way. You wonder if she is taking her meds and if everything is all right?”
