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.

Paid articlePaidQuick Glance: Challenges for South Korea's Yoon After Election Defeat
- Following his conservative party’s devastating loss in this week's parliamentary elections, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol is facing significant setbacks in expanding the country's role within emerging US-led regional blocs aimed at countering a confident China, according to analysts.
- Yoon's ruling People Power Party secured 108 seats, trailing far behind the liberal Democratic Party of Korea, which obtained a comfortable majority with 175 seats in the 300-member parliament. Voter participation reached 67 per cent, marking a multi-decade high.
- Despite these challenges, it is anticipated that Yoon will continue his diplomatic approach and strengthen ties with the US and Japan given North Korea's nuclear threats and China's increasing influence.
- Some critics have called for a more balanced approach between South Korea's traditional allies and China, accusing Yoon of needlessly provoking the country's primary trading partner and inadvertently pushing Pyongyang further into Beijing's sphere of influence.

Quick Glance: North Korea's Kim Supervises 'Super-Large' Rocket Launcher Drills
- North Korean leader Kim Jong Un oversaw live-fire drills involving 'newly-equipped super-large' multiple rocket launchers.
- The drills aimed to test the 'real war capabilities' of the 600-millimeter multiple rocket launchers and included simulating an aerial explosion of a shell at a predetermined altitude above the target.
- Kim emphasized that the rocket launchers would be the 'core central striking means' in war preparations and that the army should possess destructive offensive means to block and suppress the possibility of war.
- North Korea is banned from testing ballistic missiles due to long-running sanctions, and the latest tests were seen as the regime's attempt to demonstrate strength, signal costs on the Korean Peninsula for security cooperation, and warn Washington against increased pressure.

Paid articlePaidQuick Glance: North Korea's Second Chance with Donald Trump
- Thomas Schäfer served as Germany's ambassador to North Korea in 2007-2010 and 2013-2018.
- Pyongyang hopes for a win by former President Donald Trump in the upcoming U.S. presidential elections, as the regime sees him as more amenable to its wishes than President Biden.
- The North Korean government views cooperation with other countries as a threat to regime stability and fears that the influx of destabilizing ideas might lead to a German-style reunification of the two Koreas.
- Pyongyang wants to give Trump another chance for negotiations to achieve its objectives, including the withdrawal of U.S. troops from the peninsula, weakening of the U.S.-Korean alliance, and control of South Korea.
