“He [Yoon Suk-yeol] is unpopular as a result of the lack of real progress on domestic political and economic issues. Prices and inflation remain high, housing is expensive and political polarisation remains high.”

“The Indo-Pacific strategy is a comprehensive regional strategy aimed at facilitating our national interests in the region, whose geopolitical importance is ever growing. President Yoon Suk-yeol has been reiterating the importance of freedom and solidarity, and the values are reflected in the Indo-Pacific strategy. It will help foreign governments understand the value that we pursue and improve the country's' credibility in the international society. Inclusiveness means that we will not target or exempt any specific nation, and we are open to every partner nation sharing our vision and principles.”

“My view is that Pyongyang has not yet received any proposal which it sees as meeting its two criteria, which it made clear through North Korea's ambassador to the United Nations in New York in September 2020. They said any proposal for talks must make possible economic modernization and show them respect. The Audacious Initiative proposed by the Yoon Suk-yeol administration offers modernization but does not show the North respect, as it is effectively another form of aid package.”

“Since its launch, the Yoon Suk-yeol administration has put in all efforts within our capacity for a virtuous cycle of North Korea's denuclearization and improving inter-Korean relations while fulfilling agreements of the past administrations and offering our audacious plan. But North Korea has rejected our calls, distorting and denigrating (our plan) saying it is no different from the past.”

“The current (Yoon Suk-yeol) government has this last opportunity for denuclearization. Perhaps, we have already missed it. North Korea perceives the current situation as a new Cold War and has strengthened relations with China and Russia … This means that North Korea's need for U.S. security guarantees and, therefore, reasons for abandoning its nuclear weapons will decrease.”

“It would have been more favourable for his [Yoon Suk-yeol] image to shut his mouth. No one barters its destiny for corn cake. Though he may knock at the door with what large plan in the future as his 'bold plan' does not work, we make it clear that we will not sit face to face with him.”

“Yoon's initiative adds to a long list of failed offers involving South Korean promises to provide economic benefits to North Korea … These were the same assumptions that were behind a succession of failed efforts to jump-start denuclearisation talks. The acuteness of North Korea's economic vulnerability will make the leadership all the more resistant towards South Korean-proposed infrastructure projects.”

“It didn't matter which administration was in power, whether it was the left or whether it was the right. Yoon [Yoon Suk-yeol] went after corruption in the system. He has a track record of pursuing justice, no matter what the political cost may be. And in a society that is seen to be largely unfair, where there's deep divisions between the rich and the poor, and where many ordinary people feel as if equal opportunity is not guaranteed, there's hope that he will bring justice to South Korea.”

“It seems that Yoon [Yoon Suk-yeol] is carrying out what he said during the presidential campaign - rebuilding the South Korea-U.S. alliance. There is no doubt that we should have the alliance as the basis of our diplomacy, but it is also true that we cannot rule out China given the intertwined relationship with North Korea and other neighboring countries. The current situation forces South Korea to choose a side between the U.S. and China, but we also have to think about risks associated with uncertainty surrounding the U.S. side.”

“It is obvious fact that the South Korea-U.S. alliance is the main pillar of Seoul's diplomacy, national security and economic policies. However, it is uncertain whether the Yoon administration [Yoon Suk-yeol] is pursuing policies leaning toward the U.S. after considering the costs of such policies. It seems that Yoon is engaging with the U.S. without contingency plans for North Korea's nuclear and missile threats and the side effects of joining the U.S. bandwagon. Regarding the Korean delegation to the U.S., Yoon has revealed his hand too quickly and even if he decides to send delegations to China, he needs to be more prudent about the consequences.”

“While Korea and Japan have shown hugely different views on thorny bilateral issues, their current ties are also at the lowest point. Under the circumstances, an immediate and dramatic shift in Korea-Japan ties is not likely even though the two heads of state want to improve them. If such bilateral history-related issues occur frequently, domestic sentiment toward Japan could worsen, which will make it more difficult for the new president [Yoon Suk-yeol] to mend fences with Japan. The current government [led by Moon Jae-in] took political advantage of the anti-Japan sentiment, so it would be a task for the new administration to mobilize all of its diplomatic abilities to advance relations with Japan, while swaying domestic opinion regarding the need to improve them.”

“During the honeymoon period, the public leans toward the new President to make the country better. If the President seems his hands are tied because of the opposition party during this period, people will see the President as a victim, and the public's sentiment will become negative toward the opposition party. With the local elections taking place in just two months, this may discourage the DPK [Democratic Party of Korea] from stymieing all of Yoon's pledges [Yoon Suk-yeol].”

“I believe the people of Sangju and North Gyeongsang Province have called me, Yoon Suk-yeol, to carry out political reform and scatter the corrupt, incompetent and inhuman ruling bloc led by the DPK [Democratic Party of Korea]. The DPK have claimed that they stand together with the ordinary people, workers, farmers and the poor. But during the five-year reign of the DPK, polarization in the country has increasingly deepened, with the gaps in assets and incomes widening further. I believe there are many good politicians within the DPK... But the DPK leadership was too obsessed with old ideas from a few politicians who try to push ahead with their absurd ideas from within and outside the party, while persecuting other great politicians with good minds.”

“Lee [Lee Jae-myung] has consistently called for a universal basic income. He is currently taking a rather soft position on the matter, saying he would not unilaterally push for the basic income policy without social consensus. But it is likely that he would put a stronger drive into introducing a basic income once elected. In contrast, Yoon [Yoon Suk-yeol] would shift the focus of economic policies to encouraging entrepreneurial growth over wealth distribution, introducing more business-friendly policies by easing regulations and offering tax incentives. If Yoon is elected, he would emphasize the principle that denuclearization should come first before inter-Korean cooperation, whereas Lee would continue the engagement policies pursued by the Roh Moo-hyun and Moon Jae-in governments. For other neighboring countries, Lee would try to strike a balance between China and the U.S. amid their growing rivalry, but it would be hard to expect that bilateral relations between South Korea and Japan could improve under Lee's leadership, as he is focused on the historical issues between the countries. For Yoon, it is obvious that he would be committed to strengthening the South Korea-U.S. alliance and improving relations with Japan, considering the figures selected as members of his election camp.”
