Seou | South Korean media say liberal opposition candidate Lee Jae-myung has been elected president.
South Korean media outlets including Yonhap news agency and SBS television station reported early Wednesday that Lee has won the election.
The main conservative candidate Kim Moon Soo earlier conceded defeat.
The victory would cap months of political turmoil triggered by the stunning but brief imposition of martial law by now-ousted conservative leader Yoon Suk Yeol.
