Quick Glance: South Korea’s ‘Luke Skywalker’ Triumphs Against President Yoon
- Former minister Cho Kuk aids in leftwing alliance's electoral victory
- Former justice minister Cho Kuk, convicted on corruption charges, played a pivotal role in the defeat of conservative President Yoon Suk Yeol in parliamentary elections.
- Cho calls for Yoon and PPP leader Han Dong-hoon, both former prosecutors, to be held accountable for abuse of power.
- The leftwing alliance narrowly missed the 200-seat mark that would have allowed them to bypass a presidential veto. Yoon now faces over three years as a lame duck, while the country heads towards more than three years of stagnation.

Quick Glance: South Korean President's Challenging Future Ahead
- South Korea's parliamentary election on April 10, 2024, served as a referendum on President Yoon Suk Yeol's initial two years in office.
- The opposition Democratic Party maintained its majority in the National Assembly with 175 seats, while the ruling PPP faced a setback.
- The election results will impact Yoon's domestic and foreign agendas due to facing a divided government and increased scrutiny from opposition parties.
- Opposition parties will likely demand diplomatic achievements from the Yoon government in the next three years, scrutinizing the effectiveness of his foreign policy.
