Moon proposes weakening powers

SEOUL - South Korean President Moon Jae-in has proposed weakening the powers of his office and lowering the voting age in a package of constitutional reforms, while allowing the head of state to be re-elected.

In the country, its executive presidency is extremely powerful, giving rise to a winner-takes-all politics which critics say enables corruption.

In last year's election, Moon campaigned on a promise to reform the Constitution for the first time in three decades.
