South Korean election is always a hot topic of discussion, and the beginning of each South Korean election will bring about a bloody storm. The inauguration of each South Korean president also seems to mean the beginning of life in the prison of the next president.
On March 10, 2022, the 20th South Korean President officially came to an end. Yoon Seok-yeol officially became the next president, and the prosecutor who personally arrested two former presidents eventually became the new president of South Korea.
The situation in South Korea has also undergone earth-shaking changes. Who is this new president? Will Moon Jae-in's ending live in prison like previous presidents? What will happen to foreign relations after the new president takes office? Let's analyze it below.
- From prosecutors to South Korean presidents
Every Korean president will have a brilliant youth career and life background. Yoon Seo-yeol is no exception. He was born in Seoul, the capital of South Korea. He has lived in a big city since he was a child, and he has a lot more vision than many people. Besides, his parents are both university professors, and they are much better than others in family and living environment. He received higher education since childhood and had excellent grades. He was finally admitted to the top Korean university institution Seoul University . And studied law major.

Since 1994, he has served as a prosecutor of the local procuratorate in Daegu . has since started his career as a prosecutor. Step by step from a local prosecutor to a central prosecutor, officially served as the Minister of the Special Search Department of the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office in 2012. later became promoted step by step from the leader of the independent inspection team to the director of the Central Procuratorate Department, and finally served as the director of the South Korean Attorney General.
In his career as a prosecutor, he arrested Park Geun-hye, Choi Soon-sil and Samsung Electronics Vice President Lee Jae-yong , and was responsible for handling Lee Myung-bak corruption case and sent Lee Myung-bak to prison. Yong Seok-yeol participated in and completed many major cases during her tenure as a prosecutor.

On March 4, 2021, Yoon Seok-hyun resigned from his position as South Korean Attorney General and officially announced his participation in the South Korean presidential election on June 29, and began his presidential career from then on. On July 30, he joined the National Power Party, the largest opposition party in South Korea at that time. and debate with co-democratic presidential candidate Lee Zai Ming .
and finally won the South Korean presidential election with 0.8 percentage points on March 10, 2022. This is also the result of the smallest vote gap in South Korea's history, with the vote rate of both sides being only 0.8 percentage points. This is also extremely rare in South Korea's constitutionalism. It can be said that this success was a major collision between the Korean chaebols. Both sides are evenly matched, but Yoon Seok-yeon is still better.
Picture-Yin Seok-Yin Seok-Yin Seok-Yin Seok-Yin Seok-Yin Seok-Yin Seok-Yin's success can be said to be a struggle between top chaebols, and any failed side will suffer a strong blow. In a place like South Korea where the fittest is survival, once a force collapses, that force will be gradually swallowed up until it disappears. This is the game between the Korean chaebols. in Korea can cover the sky as long as you have power and money. So this time Yoon Seok-yeol's success also means the end of Moon Jae-in's government.
- . Will the promise of high goals really achieve
As the saying goes, a new official takes office three times, and Yoon Seok-yeol is the same. Since he becomes the new president, his various policies and positions on South Korea have also changed greatly.

\First from a political perspective, Yin Seo-yue criticized the common democratic parties, condemned them as hypocritical governments, and decided to establish a future-oriented and innovative reformed "national integrated government".
conforms to the ideas of the people and will never be independent.In fact, for every person who is competing for South Korean president, it seems that he will always say that he must consider the people, but after he really took office, he did not say as he said. So whether Yoon Seo-yeol will eventually really serve the people as he said, or let us make a conclusion based on his subsequent performance and practices.

Economically denounced Li Zaiming's claim to collect land ownership tax , and proposed to relax the comprehensive real estate tax on a residential owner, exempt the comprehensive real estate tax on a residential owner or merge it into the property tax. It promised to use 50 trillion won to aid small self-employed people's losses in the new crown epidemic, and opposed subsidies to all citizens for cash.

For young people's employment and life issues, a monthly "Youth Medical Security Fund" subsidy of 500,000 won per month for low-income youth and up to 8 months is provided. Provide 300,000 original price residences to young people. Advocate the establishment of the strongest nuclear power country.

When I was young, I think some of these economic policies for the people may be realized, but other parts may be difficult for the South Korean government to implement, such as using 50 trillion won to aid small individuals in the losses of the new crown epidemic. I think this is not very realistic for South Korea, which is dominated by chaebolism. Of course, it is not impossible.
and the other is to build the strongest nuclear power plant. Nuclear power is a very difficult technology for this. If you want to build the strongest nuclear power, it will be difficult to achieve in a short period of time, or in other words, Yoon Seo-yeol's reign. But everything is possible, let's wait and see.
- Challenges as a "political amateur"
In the history of South Korea, there are few "political amateurs" like Yoon Seok-yeol who have become the president of South Korea. However, Yoon Seok-yeol has done that the so-called "political amateurs" do not have any political experience in the parliament. Yoon Seok-hyuk worked as a prosecutor from his graduation from university to his presidency, so he did not have any experience in parliamentary politics, which is his biggest weakness. He will face three challenges in future political development.

The first item is how to achieve "political integration" and unite the hearts of the people.
For Yoon Seok-yeol, the Common Democratic Party accounts for the vast majority of the 300 seats in the Congress, with a total of 172 seats, 66 more than the National Power Party. For such a "small and big" situation, this is an urgent problem that Yoon Seok-yeol needs to solve. In addition, he has no experience in discussing politics, so the road to solving this problem will be difficult. Also, in terms of public opinion in this election, there is a serious polarization. Those who support Yoon Seok-yeol support him very much, but those who do not support him are very unsupported. Therefore, this is also a major problem that he has to solve after he takes office, how to unite the people.

Second itemThe current epidemic in South Korea is very serious. Due to the severity of the epidemic, South Korea's economy has faced unprecedented challenges. South Korea is still increasing with high growth in the number of epidemics every day. Domestic hospitals are already saturated, and many patients cannot receive timely treatment. So for Yoon Seo-yeol, how to effectively curb the epidemic and restore the domestic economy after taking office is a major challenge.
The third item how to adjust foreign relations, how to determine relations with China, how to ease relations with the Korean Peninsula, and how to develop relations with the United States and Japan are also a major problem that Yoon Seo-yeol will solve after taking office.
As a "political amateur", Yoon Seok-yeol won the victory in this South Korean election, the real challenge is still to come. How to deal with these contradictions, how to revive the country, and how to ensure his political status are all major confrontations he has to face.
- Can Moon Jae-in break the "Blue Wa Dao Curse"
Beijing time In February 2022, in the speech of Yoon Seo-hyeon running for president, he said: If he is elected president, he will conduct a liquidation investigation on Moon Jae-in. This person who personally sent two former South Korean presidents to prison will start his grand purge again, which is very likely to start his third career in sending the former president to prison.
Picture-Yong Seok-yeol
For Moon Jae-in and Yoon Seok-yeol, they were originally friends from the same front . After Moon Jae-in took office, he entrusted Yoon Seok-yeol with important tasks, asking him to investigate the case of former President Park Geun-hye, and appointed him as the Attorney General to punish corruption. Yoon Seok-yeol also lived up to his expectations and made great achievements.
But as Yoon Seok-yeol's power continues to expand, the conflict between him and Moon Jae-in gradually expands. After all, the power of the South Korean prosecutor is very great, and after Yoon Seok-yeol reaches the top of power, Moon Jae-in has already felt his threat to himself. so I tried my best to weaken it. This is something that Yoon Seok-yeol cannot tolerate, and this is Moon Jae-in's destruction of the judicial order. It is also a challenge to yourself. Therefore, the conflict between the two became deeper and deeper. The relationship was completely destroyed. In the end, he went from a teammate on the united front to an enemy who never interacted with each other now.
Whether Yoon Seok-yeol will eventually send Moon Jae-in to prison may still be very big from all angles. After all, every Korean president will have more or less bad records. If Yoon Seok-yeol really wants to investigate and send Moon Jae-in to prison, the possibility of success is very high. Moreover, for Yoon Seok-yeol, eliminating Moon Jae-in's power and cultivating his own power is definitely the top priority.
But Moon Jae-in still left a move for himself, which set the precedent for the president's amnesty power. Moon Jae-in's amnesty for Park Geun-hye some time ago was also a signal to Yoon Seo-yeol, hoping that he could give himself a chance. So whether Moon Jae-in will be sent to prison or a chance to get a pardon depends on Yoon Seok-yeol's thoughts later. Whether the "Blue Watai Curse" can be broken will be revealed soon.
- China-South Korea relations face new challenges
From the interview with our country's "Central Daily" when Yoon Seo-yeon participated in the election. Yoon Seo-yeol showed a great pro-US attitude at the time. He believed that only when the relationship between South Korea and the United States was consolidated, can other countries respect South Korea. At that time, he believed that he should support the Biden administration's suppression of China's cutting-edge technology, and that only by supporting the United States can we develop its own international trade.
He intends to give up Moon Jae-in's "three no" commitment to China (that is, he does not consider additional deployment of the "THAAD" system, does not join the US anti-missile system, and will not allow South Korea, the United States and Japan to become a third-party military activity), and add a set of " THAAD system ", deciding to let South Korea stand on the US side in the competition between China and the United States. It can be said that Yoon Seok-yeol's attitude at this time is a completely pro-American school.
However, on November 19, 2021, Yoon Seo-yeol's attitude changed 180 degrees when he met with the Chinese ambassador to South Korea. He said that South Korea and China have a long history of interactions and are important trading partners for each other. I hope that South Korea and China can further strengthen their understanding and promote the development of bilateral relations, and promise that they will work hard to promote the development of South Korea-China relations as elected as South Korea President.
Regarding China-South Korea relations, I think China and South Korea are currently in a major period of the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations. To cater to this important history, China and South Korea should strengthen the friendly relations between the two countries, equality and mutual trust. Yoon Seo-young should see that establishing a good-neighborly and friendly relationship with China, deepening cooperation between the two countries, and mutual benefit and win-win results can help South Korea get rid of the current economic downturn. Like China, we can learn from the experience of governing the epidemic to better resolve the current contradictions in South Korea. I think China-South Korea relations should develop in three directions.

Only by strengthening cooperation and mutual support and strengthening economic exchanges between the two countries can we better benefit the people of the two countries.
- South Korea's attitude towards Japan and the United States
After Yoon Seok-yeol became the president of South Korea, he called the Japanese Prime Minister as soon as possible. The two sides began to discuss the improvement of South Korea-Japan relations and reached an agreement on the North Korean nuclear issue. For Yoon Seok-yeol, his new foreign policy will be more inclined to the United States and Japan. During this 15-minute talks with the Japanese Prime Minister, the Japanese Prime Minister expressed a strong attitude of friendship with South Korea, and Yoon Seok-yeol also responded, saying that after taking office, he would strengthen contact and cooperation with the three parties of South Korea, the United States and Japan. For Yoon Seok-yeol's call to Japan this time, the relationship between South Korea and Japan will ease and move towards a path of cooperation. For Yoon Seok-yeol, the current development path cannot be separated from the help and support of major countries, so the decision he has made now is also paving the way for his future presidential development.
And for the United States, Yoon Seo-yeol also met with the U.S. Ambassador to South Korea for the interim office. Yoon Seo-hyun expressed his confirmation of the relationship between the United States at the meeting, pointing out that the United States is South Korea's "only ally" and that South Korea and the United States promised to "protect each other's safety with blood." shows that for Yoon Seo-yeol, his foreign policy is more inclined to the development of the United States. is more inclined toward the "America First" policy. For Yoon Seok-yeol's diplomacy, he believes that South Korea's development cannot be separated from the help of the United States. Only the United States can lead South Korea to a better path, so Yoon Seok-yeol wants to establish a good relationship with the United States and hopes that through the help of the United States, he can make himself smoother in the future development path. This is also one of the important reasons why Yoon Seok-yeol chose to be pro-American.
South Korea's World Journal briefly summarized Yoon Seok-yeol's foreign policy, that is, it is a "blood alliance" with the United States, a "cooperation" with Japan, a "cooperation" with China, and a "mutual cooperation". I think these words accurately summarize the foreign policy of South Korean President Yoon Seo-yeol. Regarding Yoon Seok-yeol's diplomatic direction in the future, I think this will be roughly the direction, but the real result will depend on the subsequent development. We can wait and see.
The take-off and step-off of every president in South Korea is a thrilling political struggle. From Lee Myung-bak to Park Geun-hye to Moon Jae-in and now Yoon Seo-hye, every time a president comes to power, it will be accompanied by the prison life of the previous president. From Lee Myung-bak to Park Geun-hye, without exception, they are all quitting the office, and now it is Moon Jae-in's turn. This time, whether Moon Jae-in can escape the " Blue House curse" is also a result we are looking forward to.
From Moon Jae-in's "economy in China, politics in the United States", to Yoon Seok-hye's complete preference for the United States, the succession of each president has also changed the major changes in foreign policy. Therefore, Yoon Seok-yeol's new diplomatic trend is also a great concern for all parties. But time will express our final direction and development. So let's wait and see next.
