In South Korea, where Yoon Suk-yeol is at the helm, a series of controversial decisions have sparked widespread criticism inside and outside the country.
From major shifts in foreign policy to deep controversies in domestic politics to social and economic pressures, a striking political move is quietly brewing.
What is about to happen on the South Korean political scene after the ruling party suffered an election defeat?How will this decision change the fate of the country?After Yoon Suk-yeol became the first in South Korea, he led the entire South Korea to the United States and Japan.
South Korea's political decision-making not only follows the United States and Japan, but Yoon Suk-yeol even began to ignore history and "wag his tail and beg for mercy" against Japan, which made South Korea very indignant.
As of 2023, Yoon Suk-yeol** faces challenges not only in his U.S.-Japan foreign policy, but also in economic issues, political disputes, social issues, and pandemic management.
Economically, South Koreans are under pressure from high inflation, low economic growth and high housing prices, which directly affect the living standards of ordinary people, leading to a rise in dissatisfaction with the country.
Politically, some of Yoon's involvement in political decisions and controversies over personnel appointments, including the way he treats political opponents, has drawn criticism and questions from the public.
In terms of social issues, such as gender inequality and the difficulty of finding employment for young people, efforts are considered inadequate.
In foreign policy, Yoon Suk-yeol** has received attention and criticism at home and abroad for his handling of relations with neighboring countries, especially with Japan and China. Some people believe that ** has failed to adequately safeguard national interests in foreign policy.
In particular, Japan openly discharged nuclear sewage into the sea despite the opposition of many countries, including China, and the South Korean people generally opposed it, but Yoon Suk-yeol still ate seafood in public in order to show support for Japan, which went against public opinion.
In addition, while South Korea had some early success in managing the outbreak, satisfaction with the outbreak's response may have declined as new variants emerge and the pandemic continues.
According to data from pollsters such as Gallop or Realmeter in South Korea, Yoon Suk-yeol**'s approval rating has experienced a significant decline in certain periods, reflecting the public's dissatisfaction with him**.
And now, South Korea has finally tasted the bitter fruit. With the defeat of South Korea's ruling National Power Party in the capital's elections, the party made a surprising decision: the leadership resigned en masse.
According to the global network, recently, South Korea's ruling party National Power Party issued a written announcement, saying that the party's leadership will resign en masse.
A few days ago, in the by-election for the head of the Gangseo-gu District in Seoul, South Korea, the Democratic Party of Korea, the largest opposition party in South Korea, defeated the People's Power Party and won the final victory.
The chief spokesman of the National Power Party said that for the sake of the stability and better development of the party, all party leaders will resign. At present, the announcement did not disclose the specific list of people who resigned.
After this election defeat, South Korea's ruling party can put the blame on individual leaders, but in reality, as can be seen from the significant decline in popular confidence in **, the problem is far more complex than the responsibility of individual figures.
South Korea's ruling party has two main purposes for making such a move at this time. First of all, the election in Seoul is just a "cold game", and the two parties in South Korea will focus on next year's parliamentary election, which is the "hot dish".
Now that the opposition parties have "seized the upper hand," the ruling party can only replace another group of people to participate in the competition.
In addition, after losing this election, the ruling party of South Korea can just put the "black cauldron" on the back of a few people, so as not to harm the whole party.
After all, it can also be seen from this election that the South Korean people's confidence in the ruling party has begun to decline significantly.
The ruling party will take such a radical approach, and it also wants to save a little "image".
In fact, many of the actions of the South Korean ruling party have indeed touched the "bottom line" of the South Korean people.
Yoon Suk-yeol's almost "one-sided" tilt towards the United States and Japan has made South Korea's image more and more like a "chess piece". This can also be felt by the Korean people.
To cite two examples, first, the United States brokered a "reconciliation" between Japan and South Korea, and in response to the United States, Yoon Suk-yeol went so far as to publicly call on the South Korean people to forget their historical hatred of Japan.
You always have to pay it back when you come out to mix. Previously, South Korea's ruling party went to great lengths to discredit South Korea's largest opposition party.
For example, Lee Jae-myung's "hunger strike**" incident, which caused a stir some time ago. The ruling authorities tried to arrest Lee Jae-myung and tarnish his image in the hearts of the South Korean people. However, the election in Seoul shows that the aspirations of South Korea's ruling party have been frustrated.
It is reported that after the by-election of the Seoul Gangseo-gu governor was announced, the Democratic Party of Korea was 17 percentage points higher than the ruling party, and it almost won the victory by crushing the advantage.
This result exceeded the expectations of everyone, including the opposition parties. The results of this by-election are enough to show that the popularity of South Korea's opposition parties has risen significantly. More importantly, this is an election in the capital of South Korea, which most likely represents the will of the entire South Korea.
It can be said that the South Korean people's trust in South Korea has almost eroded, and whether Yoon Suk-yeol is going to "come to the end" depends on next year's election.
As for the collective resignation of the top leaders of the ruling party in South Korea, it will not play a big role in the party's efforts to save the situation, but it may trigger a "big **" in South Korea's political circles
If Yoon Suk-yeol** fails to respond substantively to the concerns of the people and make changes, he may face even greater challenges.
The collective resignation of the top leaders of South Korea's ruling party may not be enough to salvage the situation, and South Korean politics may undergo profound changes. It remains to be seen whether Yoon Suk-yeol will be able to gain a foothold in next year's election.
South Korea is a peninsula on the Asian continent, and no matter how its policies change, it should maintain the national interest and the well-being of its people as the highest criterion, and avoid turning itself into an isolated island in the ocean.
