Here’s what you need to know about South Korea’s new president Yoon Suk-yeol
Yoon, 61, is a political novice who rose through the ranks of local and national prosecutor’s offices and notably helped convict former president Park Geun-hye in her impeachment trial. Yoon’s single five-year term as president begins in May, after he won by less than a 1 percentage point margin in the most closely contested presidential election in the country’s democratic history.
The Yoon victory could have big ramifications for South Korea’s role in Northeast Asia and its relations with the United States, primarily by hardening its approach to China and North Korea.After outgoing President Moon Jae-in, who made diplomacy with North Korea central to his foreign policy ambitions, a Yoon presidency would mark an about-face on inter-Korean relations. Yoon has called for greater cooperation with Washington to confront the growing nuclear threat posed by North Korea.
