South Korea’s new president-elect vows a tougher line on the North

LA Times  

South Korean President-elect Yoon Suk Yeol speaks during a news conference at the National Assembly in Seoul on Thursday. South Korean President-elect Yoon Suk Yeol said Thursday he would solidify an alliance with the United States, build up a powerful military and deal sternly with North Korean provocations, hours after he won the country’s hard-fought election to become its next leader. They said Yoon’s hard-line stance on North Korea would unnecessarily provoke Pyongyang, and picking a side between Washington and Beijing would pose greater security threats to Seoul. Yoon’s razor-thin victory against Lee was partly seen as a referendum on the liberal government, whose popularity waned in recent years over failures to deal with stark economic inequalities, decaying job markets and soaring house prices that paint bleak financial futures for many people in their 20s and 30s. “Instead of approaching the issue as a matter of equality and fairness between groups, I think the government should provide stronger response and protection regarding individual cases of unfairness.” Yoon said building a better pandemic response would be a priority for his transition committee, which will have a team dedicated to planning how to reinforce the country’s medical capacities and offer more effective financial aid to devastated service-sector businesses.
