Yoon’s Key North Korea Challenges: Pyongyang’s Increasing Hostility and Washington’s Backslide Into Strategic Patience
Won Gon Park
Professor in the Department of North Korean Studies of Ewha Womans University
As of April 2022, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK, or North Korea) has become more aggressive in all areas, including ideology, economy, foreign policy, and nuclear strategy. As President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol is inaugurated next week, he faces serious challenges in navigating inter-Korean and U.S.-DPRK relations under these conditions while avoiding both overreaction and passivity to get denuclearization back on the table. In this commentary, Won Gon Park, Professor at Ewha Womans University, evaluates the Moon and Biden administration’s North Korea Policy and provides policy recommendations for the Yoon administration. This commentary was co-published by 38 North and Global NK.
