"Opposition Landslide Victory in South Korea's Parliamentary Election"

South Korea's liberal opposition parties, led by the Democratic Party, secured a significant win in the parliamentary election, falling just short of a super majority but dealing a blow to President Yoon Suk Yeol and his conservative party. The opposition's victory is expected to deepen the policy stalemate, hindering Yoon's ability to pass legislation and implement his economic pledges. The election was seen as a referendum on Yoon's leadership amid economic challenges and political scandals, and the opposition's control of parliament is likely to prolong the government deadlock on key policy issues.
