South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol will meet opposition leader Lee Jae-myung for talks today after a crushing election defeat for the president’s ruling party led to widespread calls for him to change his style of leadership. — AFP picSEOUL, April 29 — South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol will meet opposition leader Lee Jae-myung for talks today after a crushing election defeat for the president’s ruling party led to widespread calls for him to change his style of leadership.
The meeting is the first Yoon has held with Lee since taking office and comes as analysts have said he may have slipped into lame duck status after his combative political stance appeared to have alienated many voters. Yoon also faces a tough dilemma in his push for healthcare reforms. Young doctors walked off the job more than two months ago in protest over the centrepiece plan of increasing the number of doctors, and more are threatening to join the protest.
