"Opposition Landslide: South Korea's Election Upends President Yoon's Agenda"

TL;DR Summary
South Korea's liberal opposition Democratic Party secured a landslide victory in the parliamentary elections, winning 175 seats out of 300 and putting President Yoon Suk Yeol's ruling conservative People Power Party in a challenging position. The outcome reflects public dissatisfaction with Yoon's administration amid economic challenges, medical crises, and scandals. Yoon's aides have offered to resign, and he has pledged to reform his administration. The opposition's strong showing limits Yoon's ability to pursue key policies and may compel him to seek cooperation with the opposition leader.
