South Korea's main opposition People Power Party (PPP) has decided to change its name next month as a symbolic step to revamp its image ahead of local elections in less than five months. The move comes amid turmoil following former President Yoon Suk Yeol's failed martial law declaration. Party leader Jang Dong-hyeok unveiled the rebranding as part of reform measures last week, accompanied by an apology for the incident.
