South Korea has chosen a conservative opposition candidate, Yoon Suk-yeol, as the country's next president following a tightly-contested race.
Mr Yoon, a political novice, edged out a victory over the Democratic Party's Lee Jae-myung based on promises to tackle class inequality.
He called his win a "victory of the great South Korean people".
But the result was one of the closest in history - with the final count separated by less than 1%.
Demographic breakdowns of the vote showed that many had voted for the third female candidate Sim Sang-jung who'd advocated for gender equality, the BBC's Laura Bicker reports.
The White House has already sent its congratulations to Mr Yoon, saying US President Joe Biden is looking forward to further expanding the two countries ties
Yoon will become president but with a Democratic Party-majority in the single-house National Assembly. The incumbent Moon Jae-in of the Democratic Party had to step down due to constitutional five-year limits of the presidential term.
Yoon Suk-yeol's victory over his liberal rival Lee Jae-myung is far from decisive. He has won the presidency by less than one per cent - a sign of just how bitterly divided politics in the world's tenth largest economy has become.
