Scenario: New Face

It is the year 2022. Tensions in the Korean peninsula have not changed much. To the right, Japan has re-elected Shinzō Abe in the 2021 election, and continues with a lower voter turnout each time while also undergoing re-militarisation. To the left, Xi Jinping continues his rule in China, and "elections" were going on, with Xi easily on his way to win re-election with no opposition. Elsewhere, Fascism continues to see a rise in Europe; while the United States had re-elected Donald Trump for a second term.

Meanwhile in South Korea, elections took place. Moon Jae-in was ineligible for re-election due to strict term limits set for the presidency. Psy, a popular music artist, decided to enter politics and ran on the Democratic Party ticket. Psy's main focus of the campaign was continuing some of Moon Jae-in's policies, and promising continued negotiations towards achieving peace in the Korean peninsula, as well as working towards future unification. Other positions included self-sustainability, improving civil rights and moving towards promoting green energy.

In the elections, Psy won against Ahn Cheol-soo from the which saw the second largest amount of votes. Hong Jun-pyo from the Liberty Korea Party saw the third and lowest amount of votes out of the main three parties, and South Gyeongsang Province being the only province overall to vote for him. Psy was elected president of South Korea, with joining him as prime minister.
