As we all know, these events are geo-politically motivated. It is critical for the United States to maintain a strong and cooperative relationship with South Korea because of North Korea, no matter who happens to hold the office of the president in Seoul. I say this because President Yoon was elected to office last March after a highly controversial campaign during which he appealed to the growing anti-feminist movement in the country, running on a promise to abolish the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family despite the fact that South Korea continues to have the largest gender pay gap among OECD countries.
