South Koreans voters are now at the polls to determine whether conservative Park Geun-hye (박근혜) of the Saenuri Party (새누리당 or the ‘Saenuri-dang’, the New Frontier Party), the daughter of former South Korean leader Park Chung-hee or progressive Moon Jae-in (문재인) of the Democratic United Party (민주통합당, or the ‘Minju Tonghap-dang’), the chief of staff to former president Roh Moo-hyun – will be its next president.

Turnout is reported to be running high, and we should know the next Korean president by noon ET.
