SEOUL -- Candidates in South Korean presidential elections usually run with pledges to reform the chaebol -- the powerful family-run conglomerates that dominate the country's economy. But this year, the two front-runners have no such plans to clip the wings of the likes of Samsung, Hyundai Motor, SK and LG.
Lee Jae-myung of the governing Democratic Party vows to make the country one of the world's top five economies, while Yoon Suk-yeol of the conservative People Power Party has pledged to use digital innovation to propel South Korea toward economic superpower status.
