Chris, from the article:

> Now, the market seems to be waiting for Wednesday’s, presidential election. Many here hope a successor will restart the housing market by reversing the policies of Mr. Roh, who is not seeking re-election. Real estate prices have emerged as a leading campaign issue, with the current front-runner, the conservative Grand National Party’s Lee Myung-bak, a former chief executive of Hyundai Construction, promising to lower capital gains taxes and other taxes.

a) Roh Moo-Hyun can't seek re-election. South Korean presidents are limited to one term each.

b) Politics have come full circle. After electing Roh Moo-Hyun, partly on anti-American sentiment, the voters may elect the conservative, the former CEO of Hyundai. Guess not everyone in the world hates America.
