"South Korea's Political Upheaval: Resignations, Election Loss, and Future-Proofing Ties"

South Korea's parliamentary elections saw the Democratic Party (DP) winning a majority, dealing a blow to President Yoon Suk Yeol's People Power Party (PPP). The campaign was marked by spectacle, with opposition candidates mocking the president by waving spring onions after he displayed ignorance about their cost. The DP's victory means Yoon will struggle to pass reforms, as the opposition is unlikely to cooperate. Yoon's presidency has been marred by low approval ratings, accusations of corruption, and economic challenges, leaving his domestic legacy in jeopardy.
