"Challenges Ahead: South Korea's Opposition Party Secures Landslide Victory as Yoon's Party Faces Resignations and Lame Duck Era"

TL;DR Summary
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol's conservative party suffered a major setback in the parliamentary elections, leaving him politically weakened and facing opposition control of the parliament for the remainder of his term. Yoon's low approval ratings, economic mismanagement, and scandals have contributed to his party's loss. Despite this, Yoon's foreign policies remain intact, and potential liberal challengers face legal issues. The election results also boosted the political standing of Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party chairman, and Han Dong-hoon, a Yoon ally, while Yoon's future prospects are uncertain.
