Challenges with South Korean President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol

There are two developments that make this event even more outstanding: before that, North Korea continuously launched many types of missiles and US President Joe Biden decided to pay an official visit to South Korea on the occasion of his upcoming trip to Asia.

Both North Korea and the United States have expressed their own views about the new South Korean president and want to send their own messages about the new political era in South Korea.

The North Korean side wants to warn and deter Mr. Yoon Suk-yeol that North Korea continues to handle its relations with South Korea and the United States in its own strength, continues to be ready to confront, and still does not hesitate to use deterrence tools are the missile and nuclear programs.

Mr. Biden used his surprise decision to pay an official visit to South Korea to show his strong support for the new president in South Korea and to affirm the strategic military alliance between the United States and South Korea. especially in the context of the situation of North Korea increasing missile launches.

South Korea has a new president inaugurated and according to his words so far, a new political era will be opened with the change of president.

Mr. Yoon Suk-yeol is a person who has different views from his predecessor in almost all the most important and important governing areas. For example, Mr. Yoon Suk-yeol once criticized Mr. Moon Jae-in for his response to the epidemic, for fighting corruption and for promoting economic growth.

Mr. Yoon Suk-yeol also said that he would implement a different policy from Moon Jae-in on North Korea and China, namely being more aggressive towards North Korea and no longer yielding to China.

Desires and intentions are one thing, but whether the new president in Korea will truly usher in a new era in this country is another.

It is difficult for Mr. Yoon Suk-yeol to usher in a real new political era in Korea and for the country if he does not first quickly overcome this serious division in politics and internally. society.

Without quickly succeeding in responding to the epidemic and restoring economic growth, without fighting corruption and abuse of power more aggressively and successfully than his predecessor, Mr. Yoon Suk-yeol will find it difficult to conquer. has the support and trust of a large part of the electorate who did not vote for him in the last presidential election.

Even the handling of South Korea’s relations with China and North Korea has not been easy for the new South Korean president.

It is easy to be different from the predecessor, but it is not easy to be more successful and successful than the predecessor. Both in foreign affairs and security, ushering in a new era is a challenge.

At the time the new president took office in South Korea, a new political era existed only in the declaration of political will by Mr. Yoon Suk-yeol.

The change of president opens up the opportunity to change times because Mr. Yoon Suk-yeol has come to power from the opposition. But what the new time will be like, it must be gradually revealed.
