As frontrunner Lee Jae-myung gears up for South Korea's June 3 special election, his party's foreign policy has undergone a transformation from progressivism to pragmatism. @darciedraudt.bsky.social explains: carnegieendowment.org/research/202...

The Transformation of South Korean Progressive Foreign Policy

The foreign policy orientation of the Democratic Party of Korea (DP)—South Korea’s progressive party—is undergoing a recalibration to a more pragmatic, security-conscious orientation.

In the latest installment of my analysis of the upcoming South Korean election, I discuss how the Trump-tariff effect has influenced security and economic debates int the upcoming South Korean election for @cfr.org on.cfr.org/3HtzNbm

Duty Calls: Trump’s Tariffs and the Stakes of Korea’s Snap Election

On June 3, Korean voters will head to the polls for a snap presidential election. The outcome will reverberate far beyond Korean domestic politics.

Is presidential frontrunner Lee Jae-myung's swing to the center just a campaign tactic, or does it indicate a new direction for South Korea’s foreign policy? @darciedraudt.bsky.social unpacks the present – and future – implications in her latest for Emissary: carnegieendowment.org/emissary/202...

South Korea’s Presidential Frontrunner Calls Himself a Pragmatist. Skeptics Aren’t Convinced.

Whether Lee Jae-myung’s posture is a simple campaign tactic or a precursor to strategic renewal will be consequential for both Korean voters and Washington policymakers.

Been doing a lot of thinking about what Lee Jae-myung means for Korean politics. I'll be sharing a longer report next week, but my analysis of Lee's "right-clicking" is up @carnegieendowment.org now: carnegieendowment.org/emissary/202...

Today marks 100 days of Trump’s second term—and South Korea’s alliance anxieties may be deepening. Without a president in Seoul and facing a transactional US, economic and security pressures mount. My take for @carnegieendowment.org's 'Trump 2.0' series: carnegieendowment.org/emissary/202...

Trump Isn’t Helping Korea’s Alliance Anxieties

The country’s polarized political landscape and absence of a president only sharpen its economic and security concerns.

After a historic ruling, Korea’s Constitutional Court upheld the impeachment of Pres Yoon Suk-yeol—a bold rebuke against authoritarian overreach. Yet the victory for democracy comes with a caveat: deep partisan divides have only widened @carnegieendowment.org carnegieendowment.org/emissary/202...

Yoon is out—and the coming election will be deeply contentious.

Today, South Korea’s Constitutional Court formally removed impeached President Yoon Suk-yeol. But stark divisions among South Koreans will mean an uncertain future, writes @darciedraudt.bsky.social. Read Darcie’s assessment of the situation here: carnegieendowment.org/emissary/202...

Really good point by @joelatkinson.bsky.social. PPP and many conservative citizens fear not just losing control of the executive, but also have a near-existential fear losing the ideological underpinnings of the nation. What does party loyalty mean in this case? What political game are we playing?

Joel Atkinson@joelatkinson.bsky.social · 2y ago

This is coming down to a "protect democracy by impeaching Yoon" vs. "protect democracy by preventing Lee Jae-myung becoming president" struggle. The former will win more public support, but ultimately it's the individual PPP legislators who will vote, not the public

Joel Atkinson@joelatkinson.bsky.social · 2y ago

Maybe spoke too soon. According to this about 20 of the 108 PPP lawmakers remain, incl. Ahn Cheol-soo, who has expressed support for the impeachment motion, pro-Han Dong-hoon lawmakers such as Han Ji-ah, Kwak Kyu-taek, Park Jung-ha, Seo Beon-soo, Ko Dong-jin, Bae Hyun-jin, Kim Seong-won, and...

與의원 대다수 '尹탄핵안' 표결 전 퇴장…안철수 등 일부는 남아 - 머니투데이

국민의힘이 7일 김건희 특별검사법안 표결 직후 윤석열 대통령 탄핵소추안 표결에는 참여하지 않고 퇴장키로 했다. 야당은 고성을 지르며 강하게 항의했다. 국회는 이날 오후 5시4분쯤 본회의를 개의했다. 본회의에선 김건희 특검법에 대한 표결을 먼저 진행한 후 윤 대통령 탄핵안 표결에 돌입한다. 국민의힘은 두 안건 모두 부결 당론을 확정했다. 국민의힘의 한 ...

No impeachment motion today folks m.koreatimes.co.kr/pages/articl...

The plot twist is that, during a post-vote presser, Kim reveals that, and I am summarizing, "I am a conservative and will vote the party line", which is to oppose impeachment. He added that he doesn't support boycotting the vote.

Michelle Ye Hee Lee@myhlee.bsky.social · 2y ago

Conservative lawmaker Kim Sang-wook just entered the chamber to vote. The chamber erupted into applause and opposition is shaking his hand. The speaker pleaded conservatives to return and vote, saying it was critical for the future of South Korea's democracy. They're still waiting.
