South Korea names first woman PM in 20 years
South Korean President Lee Jae Myung nominated Han Seong-sook as the next prime minister, making her the second woman to hold the position if confirmed. Han currently serves as the minister for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises and Startups. Her nomination follows the ruling party's local election victory, though it lost the Seoul mayoral race, and requires parliamentary approval.
