What do foreigners want from Korea's next president?

The year 2022 is expected to be a watershed period for Korea, with the major political event of the presidential election slated for March 9 which is now just a month away.

Not only Koreans, but the level of attention to the election is also high among the foreign community as nearly 2.5 million immigrants living in Korea are heavily influenced by a wide range of foreigner policies, including employment, housing, and education.

Both parties have been pledging to support the immigrant community by easing the work permission system for foreigners, and improving welfare systems for multicultural families.

So, we decided to hear thoughts from foreigners living in Korea about how they view the upcoming presidential election and what are the issues that the next South Korean president should address to improve the lives of foreigners.
