In this episode of <\/span>The Korea Pro Podcast<\/span><\/i>, Jeongmin and John delve into recent geopolitical events and their potential impact on South Korea.<\/span><\/p>\n

The discussion opens with an analysis of Shigeru Ishiba\u2019s appointment as the new Japanese prime minister. They explore the implications of Ishiba\u2019s more dovish stance toward South Korea, contrasting it with his rival Sanae Takaichi\u2019s hawkish position. The hosts consider the potential trajectory of South Korea-Japan relations under Ishiba\u2019s leadership, acknowledging the constraints posed by conservative factions within Japan\u2019s Liberal Democratic Party.<\/span><\/p>\n

Next, they turn their attention to Iran\u2019s recent missile attacks on Israel and turn the discussion toward South Korea\u2019s missile defense capabilities. The hosts weigh the cost-effectiveness of further investments in missile defense against the development of offensive capabilities, particularly in light of the threat posed by a nuclear-armed North Korea.<\/span><\/p>\n

Looking ahead, the hosts discuss South Korean prosecutors\u2019 decision not to pursue legal action against the first lady in the Dior bag scandal. They also touch on President Yoon Suk-yeol\u2019s declining approval ratings and the rumored tensions between the president and People Power Party leader Han Dong-hoon over the investigation of the first lady.<\/span><\/p>\n
