The opposition party of a country is a pretty significant societal group; their leader being stabbed seems significant to me. Far more trivial crimes on regular people that are merely interesting stories have articles. Separate note, we have

Please move this to the usual format, Attempted assassination of Lee Jae-myung.

I don't think the descriptions in the background are neutral. It should be about an attempted assassination, but is it necessary to write down descriptions of political violence in Korea. Wildcro (talk) 16:23, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think maybe could go either way; I also feel it's a little off. This kind of violence feels semi-random, and enumerating previous cases makes it seem like we're trying to put this into a narrative. However, even the Korean news media has been enumerating these previous incidents in their reporting. For now maybe we can keep, but I could be convinced of either

So I think that's why we need to edit that part. Wildcro (talk) 03:28, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I know, but I can also think of arguments against removing the info. Our job is to include true and notable things, which has been done. Furthermore, the language currently doesn't strongly imply political violence is a regular occurrence in SK; the given instances are sporadic (few times a decade), probably on par with many other countries.

I'm still on the fence, but lean oppose to removing the info altogether

As there is a ongoing investigation, Wikipedia should not publish this incidence as if the conclusion is already made and official. Rather, the description should be balanced to describe the attempted assassination, with the description of the injury (0.35 inch laceration on the neck, and partial damage to internal jugular vein), the follow up treatment and recovery as transported with emergency helichopter to Seoul National University hospital, started surgery 5 hours after the attack, and fully recovered after 1 week hospitalization.
