South Korea Election
South Korea’s presidential candidate Park Geun-hye of ruling Saenuri Party waves to her supporters near the party’s head office in Seoul, South Korea, Wednesday, Dec. 19, 2012. South Koreas presidential Blue House on Wednesday congratulated conservative Park Geun-hye (Bahk guhn-hae) for becoming president, although votes were still being counted in a close race. Park Geun-hye will return to her childhood home, from where her dictator father President Park Chung-hee ruled South Korea for 18-years, as the Liberal South Korean candidate concedes victory to her.
