The meeting followed weeks of <a href=\"https:\/\/koreapro.org\/2024\/04\/yoon-lee-likely-to-discuss-contentious-issues-in-first-meet-since-inauguration\/\">failed<\/a> negotiations over <a href=\"https:\/\/koreapro.org\/2024\/04\/president-yoon-dp-leader-lee-meeting-arms-exports-cho-kuks-fate-ep-16\/\">agenda<\/a> items and proceeded without predefined topics. Lee began with a 15-minute <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yna.co.kr\/view\/AKR20240429137100704\">statement<\/a>, open to the press, where he criticized the administration\u2019s failure to address the difficult economic situation and \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.koreatimes.co.kr\/www\/nation\/2024\/04\/113_370351.html\">autocratization<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He demanded a comprehensive policy overhaul, touching on <a href=\"https:\/\/koreapro.org\/2024\/01\/south-koreas-economic-package-sparks-concerns-of-domestic-global-consequences\/\">the<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/koreapro.org\/2023\/11\/opposition-party-deems-yoons-rd-cuts-reckless-budget-showdown-looms\/\">R&amp;D<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/koreapro.org\/2024\/04\/south-koreas-tech-ambitions-at-risk-from-governments-rd-budget-whiplash\/\">budget<\/a>, doctor <a href=\"https:\/\/koreapro.org\/2024\/03\/yoon-calls-for-flexibility-in-trainee-doctor-license-suspension\/\">strikes<\/a>, and the overuse of presidential <a href=\"https:\/\/koreapro.org\/2023\/04\/president-yoon-suk-yeol-likely-to-veto-grain-bill-on-tuesday\/\">veto<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/koreapro.org\/2024\/03\/south-korean-ruling-party-pushes-revised-nursing-act-amid-doctor-strikes\/\">power<\/a>, asking Yoon to apologize for his previous vetoes.

Lee called for a special investigation into a marine&#8217;s death \u2014 a controversy that led to the <a href=\"https:\/\/koreapro.org\/2024\/04\/south-korean-ambassador-to-australia-resigns-dealing-blow-to-ruling-party\/\">resignation<\/a> of Yoon\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/koreapro.org\/2024\/03\/yoons-controversial-ambassador-pick-sparks-political-firestorm-in-south-korea\/\">ambassador<\/a> to Australia earlier this year \u2014 and to \u201cclear up issues related to his <a href=\"https:\/\/koreapro.org\/2024\/02\/president-yoons-defense-of-first-lady-in-tv-interview-ignites-backlash\/\">family<\/a>,\u201d likely in reference to <a href=\"https:\/\/koreapro.org\/2024\/01\/rift-between-president-and-ruling-party-chief-surfaces-as-general-elections-loom\/\">allegations<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chosun.com\/english\/national-en\/2023\/12\/30\/N3W55Z2OERG7ZJNMHREMDM3D7I\/\">against<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/koreapro.org\/2024\/01\/a-rok-political-bromance-ended-by-a-dior-purse-trump-risk-ep-2\/\">the<\/a> first lady, but Yoon remained <a href=\"https:\/\/n.news.naver.com\/mnews\/article\/277\/0005412136?sid=100\">unresponsive<\/a>, according to the DP and the Presidential Office. Yoon also opposed the DP\u2019s proposal for <a href=\"https:\/\/koreapro.org\/2024\/04\/why-universal-cash-handouts-would-have-unintended-consequences-for-south-korea\/\">universal<\/a> cash vouchers, preferring <a href=\"https:\/\/n.news.naver.com\/mnews\/article\/277\/0005412135?sid=100\">targeted<\/a> aid instead.<\/p>\n<p>Both leaders showed some willingness to compromise on the Itaewon crowd crush investigation and doctors&#8217; strikes, <a href=\"https:\/\/n.news.naver.com\/mnews\/article\/003\/0012519479?sid=100\">agreeing<\/a> on the need to increase medical school quotas and to <a href=\"https:\/\/n.news.naver.com\/mnews\/article\/001\/0014659650?sid=100\">reexamine<\/a> the Itaewon incident to better support the bereaved families. However, on the latter issue, the DP expressed disappointment in Yoon\u2019s stance, saying that the president on Monday \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/n.news.naver.com\/mnews\/article\/003\/0012519489?sid=100\">practically<\/a> rejected\u201d the special act that he vetoed <a href=\"https:\/\/koreapro.org\/2024\/01\/yoons-veto-on-itaewon-bill-stirs-controversy-ahead-of-parliamentary-elections\/\">before<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/n.news.naver.com\/mnews\/article\/421\/0007511137?sid=100\">reiterating<\/a> its legal <a href=\"https:\/\/koreapro.org\/2024\/02\/itaewon-disaster-bill-falls-victim-to-political-maneuvering\/\">problems<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>After the meeting, the DP <a href=\"https:\/\/theminjoo.kr\/main\/sub\/news\/view.php?brd=11&amp;post=1203712\">noted<\/a> little change in Yoon&#8217;s governance approach. Meanwhile, the Presidential Office <a href=\"https:\/\/n.news.naver.com\/mnews\/article\/003\/0012519445?sid=100\">highlighted<\/a> the meeting&#8217;s symbolic value as a &#8220;first step&#8221; toward enhanced communication and cooperation. While Lee framed his remarks with an alleged intention to help the president become \u201csuccessful\u201d through cooperating with the opposition, the result of the meeting points to unbridgeable gaps in views between the two and potentially continued hostile relations between the government and the opposition in the coming years.<\/p>\n<div class=\"content-tags\"><a href=\"https:\/\/koreapro.org\/tag\/domestic-politics\/\"><span class=\"tag\">Domestic Politics<\/span><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol and Lee Jae-myung, leader of the opposition Democratic Party, held their first formal meeting since Yoon\u2019s inauguration 720 days ago on Monday afternoon.
