Experiencing the 2024 total solar eclipse in New Brunswick | SaltWire #solareclipse #eastcoastSEOUL - After rising power by embracing uncompromising and sometimes combative politics, South Korea's President Yoon Suk Yeol may have to rethink his signature style if he hopes to protect his legacy and party after a crushing election defeat.

The president has also struck a hardline against protests and labour strikes, and has been accused by rights activists of wielding the legal system against critics. "The hope of the media and voters may be that the president should take the election results carefully and make changes to the way state administration is conducted in the future," Lee said."The president's leadership style is not one that easily embraces those things."

Another official admitted the results were worse than expected, and would complicate the final years of Yoon's administration. Both officials declined to be named due to the sensitivity of the matter. "His way of handling contentious issues is unsophisticated and one-sided with no way out at all, and voters effectively vetoed that in the election," said Kim Hyung-joon, a professor at Pai Chai University.
