Yoon Suk Yeol
President of South Korea since 2022
In this Korean name, the family name is Yoon.
Yoon Suk Yeol (Korean: 윤석열; born 18 December 1960) is a South Korean politician and prosecutor who has served as the 13th president of South Korea since 2022. Following his impeachment on 14 December 2024, his powers are currently suspended.
Yoon was born in Seoul and earned two degrees from Seoul National University. In his capacity as chief of the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office, he played a key role in convicting former presidents Park Geun-hye and Lee Myung-bak for abuse of power. In 2019, then-president Moon Jae-in appointed Yoon as Prosecutor General of South Korea from 2019 to 2021. During Yoon's leadership, the Supreme Prosecutor's Office conducted embattled investigations into Cho Kuk, an influential figure in the Moon administration, that led to Cho's resignation as Minister of Justice. Yoon's clashes with the Moon administration prior to his resignation as prosecutor general in March 2021 led to his rise as a potential presidential candidate among conservative voters.
In June 2021, Yoon announced his candidacy in the 2022 South Korean presidential election. He joined the right-wingPeople Power Party (PPP) in July and won its nomination in November. Considered a conservative and economically liberal politician, Yoon ran on a platform promising economic deregulation and measures such as abolishing the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family. He narrowly defeated Democratic Party nominee Lee Jae-myung by less than a percentage point on 9 March 2022 and assumed office as president on 10 May, becoming the first elected president to be born after the end to fighting in the Korean War. During his presidency, Yoon's foreign policy has been described as both more hawkish toward North Korea and friendlier to Japan compared to previous South Korean presidents. BBC News Reporting fromSingapore BBC News Reporting fromSeoul South Korea's impeached president Yook Suk Yeol has been charged with insurrection over his short-lived martial law declaration on 3 December. The 64-year-old was arrested on 15 January, following a weeks-long stand-off between anti-corruption investigators and his personal security detail. He is the country's first sitting president to be arrested and charged with a crime. Yoon's attempt at martial law has plunged the country into political turmoil. It led to his impeachment by parliament on 14 December, though a constitutional court still has to decide if his impeachment is final. The Central Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO), also began investigating Yoon for insurrection - which is punishable by life in prison or death. But Yoon refused to cooperate with the authorities, ignoring several summonses to come in for questioning. This led to the CIO applying for an arrest warrant to bring him in. The first failed attempt to arrest him on 3 January saw his supporters and the Presidential Security Service (PSS) block authorities from reaching him at his official residence in Seoul. The successful attempt which saw the deployment of 1,000 officers from the police and CIO, was initially blocked by the PSS who erected barricades to stop investigators from entering. In a three-minute video message released after his arrest, Yoon said that while he continued to oppose the inquiry against him, he agreed to appear before investigators to "prevent any unsavoury bloodshed". But even before his martial law order, Yoon had already found himself in a political quagmire, plagued with personal scandals and mounting pressure from the opposition. Yoon was a relative newcomer to politics when he won the presidency. He had risen to national prominen South Korean singer (born 1995) In this Korean name, the family name is Yoon.

In April, J HM: In the book you present a variegated picture of China’s influence in Southeast Asia, from the official state-to-state level of interactions to those of China’s diaspora community across the region. What is the main lesson you would like the reader to take away from the book? EH: I think the main lesson I would like readers to take away from the book is the complexity of China’s presence for Southeast Asia as a result of its geographic proximity and the size of its population and economy. That means, historically and contemporarily, the interactions between actors coming out from China have been the most intensive with Southeast Asia; for example, the long history of Chinese migration to the region, Cold War China’s support for communist insurgencies in the region, as well as current integrated trading relations between the two. The bilateral relationship is multidimensional and perhaps very difficult to measure using a simplistic quantitative matrix. Rather we should view bilateral relations holistically as an extremely entangled one. HM: You emphasise that we should be careful not to assume a state’s (here China’s) stated goal is the same as its underlying intention. What in your view is Beijing’s main goal in Southeast Asia? How does it differ from official rhetoric as Chinese officials present it in speeches and joint communiques? EH:What I try to emphasise is that we cannot necessarily infer the Chinese state’s intention towards Southeast Asia from its public statements. The official rhetoric from China is the talking points about good neighbourly relations etc, and is usually quite difficult to decipher. In my view, Beijing’s main goal in Southeast Asia is to have its interests respected by Southeast Asian governments, and that would mean imposing its views on territorial disputes in the South China Sea, having a region that is overall at least neutral towards the US-China competition, and having econ Who is Yoon Suk Yeol, South Korea's impeached president?
