It’s been three months since Lee Jae-myung took office, yet expectations are already flagging. The drive to root out the coup forces has been sluggish. President Lee has also said he will push for a U.S.–ROK–Japan trilateral military alliance—something he opposed while in opposition.
Meanwhile, the People Power Party has elected the hardline far-right figure Jang Dong-hyeok as its leader, rallying its base as its poll numbers gradually recover. Why are these happening? For those who fought from last winter through spring to bring down the Yoon government, what must be done now to root out the coup forces and win real reform?
