The South Korean President has been really tough lately!, I have to say it means | Japan | South Korea

Seemingly unintentional details often reveal meaningful information.
No matter what you think of Yoon Seok yeol, I have to say that this South Korean president has been really tough lately.
Three things.
The first thing is that on August 15th, the day of Japan's defeat and surrender, which is also South Korea's Day of Liberation, Yoon Seok yeol was amazed and praised, "Now Japan is our partner.". He also praised Japan for making significant contributions in preventing North Korea from moving south.
South Korean public opinion is in a state of uproar.
Seeing a South Korean angrily questioning, "Is that what a president should say on the Day of Liberation?"
Even some Koreans let out a deep sigh: South Korea has now elected a Japanese president.
You should know that the attitude and bloodiness of Koreans towards Japan are well-known all over the world. But after Yin Xiyue took office, everything turned 180 degrees. Even on occasions like August 15th, when there is less talk about history, there is more talk of goodwill between South Korea and Japan.
If you are not used to the personality of Koreans, you should praise the benefits of Japan. Not to mention, such a South Korean president is really not easy.
The second thing, unfortunately, was on August 15th when Yin Xiyue's father, Yin Qizhong, passed away at the age of 92.
The old gentleman can also be considered a longevity.
As a son, in East Asia, where filial piety is highly valued, Yin Xiyue also had to give up some of his official duties and bid farewell to his father.
I think that no matter what attitude we have towards Yin Xiyue or the passing of the old man, we should still maintain sufficient respect. I saw that some opposition leaders in South Korea who strongly criticized Yoon Seok yeol also went to the mourning hall to offer condolences.
In ancient times, at least in China and the Korean Peninsula, when parents passed away, their children were required to observe filial piety for three years. Of course, it is also possible to "seize the situation", but those are all special emergency situations, and there are also controversies afterwards, which can even lead to reputation damage.
In modern society, three years of filial piety is obviously too long. But to the surprise of many people, Yin Xiyue's filial piety was very short, even less than three days.
For other reasons, I had to hastily send the old gentleman away. On this point, Yin Xiyue is really not simple, beyond the reach of ordinary people!
The third thing is that August 18th is the David Camp US Japan Korea Summit. Yin Xiyue quickly dealt with her father's funeral and went to the United States for a meeting.
If according to past traditions, there is a funeral at home and it is not advisable to go out, let alone visit.
But Yin Xiyue doesn't care, the David Camp meeting is very important. The United States, Japan, and South Korea need to do something big. Biden and Kishida are both waiting, and I must go. So, the father's funeral was hastily held, and he turned around and boarded the plane.
My father passed away on August 15th and flew to Camp David in the United States on August 17th.
I don't know how Mr. Yin Qizhong, under the Nine Springs, would feel? Is it to comfort my son that national affairs are of utmost importance? Or let out a sigh for such a son?
Finally, what do we think?
It has to be said that Yin Xiyue is really tough. In my personal opinion, let's have three basic points.
Firstly, Yin Xiyue is indeed very individualistic.
What others dare not say due to pressure, and what others dare not do due to morality, he has done it cleanly and efficiently.
I remember the labor incident in South Korea during World War II, which once brought Japan and South Korea relations to a bottom. However, after Yoon Seok yeol took office, the problem was easily resolved. Reason? Other South Korean presidents dare not compromise, and Japanese companies must compensate, but Yoon Seok yeol has agreed not to let Japan compensate. We will establish our own fund and compensate ourselves.
Angered, Lee Jae myung, the leader of the South Korean Democratic Party, felt heartbroken, believing that this had plunged South Korea's national character to the bottom. He seemed to have heard the mockery of the Japanese
But Yoon Seok yeol is Yoon Seok yeol, and this kind of courage in doing things is not something that most Koreans can achieve.
Secondly, I couldn't help but sweat for Yin Xiyue.
Because the world knows that the most dangerous profession in South Korea is becoming the President of South Korea.
In any case, except for Moon Jae-in, none of the successive South Korean presidents has ever died a good death, imprisoned in prison, exiled in exile, or committed suicide, which is known as the "Blue House Charm".
Even Moon Jae-in is said to have been investigated now. Recently, Yin Xiyue's government was more painful to approve Zaiyin's "brazen".
So, when he became the President of South Korea, Yoon Seok yeol firmly refused to resist and forcibly took over the original Ministry of National Defense and changed it to the Presidential Palace.
Qinghuatai has been changed, but can Yin Xiyue create miracles?
Thirdly, the biggest highlight below is Yin Xiyue's facial expression management.
After all, it was an extraordinary period. Before his father passed away for three days, he went to the American resort of Camp David. Yin Xiyue's facial expression management was particularly attractive and quite difficult.
Biden and Fumio Kishida are expected to greet each other when they meet. It's not appropriate to cry like an ordinary filial son. "Yoon Seok yeol cried in front of Biden and Kishida," especially in front of Kishida. Will this really be good for Yoon Seok yeol and the image of South Korea?
Guests from afar will arrive at a glance, and Old Biden will definitely welcome them with a smile. Smiling at Biden seems even more inappropriate. After all, when your father just passed away, you went to shake hands with someone else and still had a smile on your face. What would an old father under heaven think? What would Koreans think?
From this perspective, Yin Xiyue is indeed competitive and not easy.
Can't cry or laugh? What should we do then?
I believe President Yin Xiyue must have a solution, so let's just ride the donkey and read the record book - let's wait and see.
