Did South Korea just elect a Georgist president?

From the article:

There is never a dull moment in South Korean politics. Six months ago, the conservative President Yoon Suk-yeol accused members of the National Assembly of being “despicable pro-North Korean anti-state forces,” declared martial law, and deployed the military to block representatives’ access to the Assembly building. Mass protests immediately erupted and Lee Jae-myung, leader of the opposition Democratic Party of Korea (DPK), live-streamed himself climbing a fence to get into the Assembly building and called on other representatives to join him. Once inside, a supermajority1 immediately voted to cancel the martial law declaration, and later impeached President Yoon, triggering a snap election.

A surprisingly straightforward race culminated last week with Mr. Lee emerging victorious, with his past support for land value tax (LVT) and universal basic income (UBI) being seen as cause for celebration among some Georgists.

So let’s get to know South Korea’s new President, Lee Jae-myung. We’ll trace his political journey, explore the state of housing & taxation in South Korea, and ask whether we can call him the world’s first Georgist president.

Not a spoiler, but the article's conclusion is "yes". There's considerable detail on the evolution of Lee Jae-Myung's policies. The unique and generalizable features of South Korean income inequality and housing shortages will make this an interesting experiment.
