In the current international landscape, unpredictable situations are becoming the norm. South Korea, for example, is a country with a unique history and present. South Korea, which was once deeply invaded by Japan, today sees the new ** Yoon Suk-yeol pushing for the improvement of relations with Japan, even if this may lead to dissatisfaction among the domestic population, Yoon Suk-yeol seems to be more inclined to be close to Japan and the United States, which is indeed incomprehensible. 
Yoon Suk-yeol was elected South Korea's 20th term on March 10 last year. However, since he took office, his foreign policy has sparked widespread controversy at home and abroad. Many analysts and commentators have even likened him to "South Korea's second Lee Myung-bak" rather than the expected "second Park Geun-hye." What is the reason behind this evaluation?First of all, it is clear that many members of Yoon Suk-yeol**'s diplomatic team are diplomats from the Lee Myung-bak era. This situation makes the outside world can't help but regard Yoon Suk-yeol** as an "upgraded version of Lee Myung-bak**". For example, Kim Tae-hyo in the security room, who was Do's foreign war secretary, and Kim Sung-han, who was Lee Myung-bak's *** deputy minister. The presence of these personnel shows their loyalty to Yoon Suk-yeol**, even if some of them are no longer in key positions. Second, Yoon Suk-yeol** and Lee Myung-bak** have extremely similar diplomatic goals, which can almost be said to be the same. Lee Myung-bak's concept of "global Korea" is essentially the same as Yoon's goal of shaping South Korea as a "global pivot country." Although they may seem different on the surface, the core idea of both is to actively get close to Japan and the United States. After Yoon Suk-yeol came to power, his pro-Japanese performance was particularly significant. 
Yoon's foreign policy has caused widespread controversy, especially in its treatment of Japan and the United States. Yoon Suk-yeol** seems to have taken a low profile towards Japan, causing domestic dissatisfaction and criticism. Some commentators believe that this attitude has reached the point of "low three and four", which has aroused strong disgust among the South Korean people and **, and some people even accuse Yoon Suk-yeol ** of a kind of "humiliation diplomacy". In contrast, Yoon Suk-yeol seems to be more compromised when dealing with the United States, and has even been described as "groveling". This apparent one-sidedness has led to more questions and accusations that Yoon Suk-yeol lacks independence in diplomacy and sticks to a principled stance. The degree to which this ** and pro-Japanese policy has been promoted is disgusting, and it makes one wonder whether Yoon Suk-yeol really has South Korea's national interests in mind. It is worth noting that Yoon Suk-yeol** seems to have failed to learn the lessons of Lee Myung-bak**. Similar to Lee Myung-bak**, Yoon Suk-yeol did not change his diplomatic strategy after taking office, but continued to promote close relations with the United States and Japan. As a result, South Korea appears to have become a subordinate state of Japan and the United States, and Yoon's so-called "global pivot country" appears to have become only "America's South Korea." 
This diplomatic orientation has aroused concerns and questions among many South Korean people, and some people have even begun to doubt Yoon Suk-yeol's identity, questioning whether he is South Korean or American or Japanese. In the current tense situation on the peninsula, South Korea** seems to be more dependent on U.S. support to maintain security and balance. However, this also brings up another problem, that is, the United States may use this dependence to contain South Korea, push it to the front line of anti-China, and become the "stormtrooping force" of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region. This puts South Korea in a diplomatic dilemma, which needs to be defended and guarded against the intervention of external forces. 
In the end, Yoon Suk-yeol needs to carefully consider the overall situation and stand from the perspective of the South Korean people. Otherwise, his approval ratings could slip further, and Yoon Suk-yeol** could face a similar dilemma to Lee Myung-bak**, and even if Yoon Suk-yeol pardoned Lee Myung-bak, there is no guarantee that he will not suffer the same fate. It is hoped that Yoon Suk-yeol** will be more cautious in foreign policy decisions to safeguard national interests and popular support.
