Following the passing of the impeachment bill against President Yoon Seok-yeol in the South Korean National Assembly, Fuji TV's "Sunday Report THE PRIME" discussed the future of South Korean politics and Japan-South Korea relations, with experts at times disagreeing, saying, "It's completely different." On the show, LDP Deputy Defense Committee Chair Matsukawa Rui, Ryukoku University Professor Lee Sang-cheol, and Hitotsubashi University Graduate School Associate Professor Kwon Yong-hyun appeared to discuss the chaotic nature of South Korea, including the outlook for the Constitutional Court's decision regarding President Yoon's suspension from office and the possibility of his arrest on charges of treason, which are currently under investigation. And with Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the largest opposition party, the Democratic Party of Korea, who is a leading candidate for the next president depending on how things go, said to be a hardliner against Japan, Kwon stated his opinion on Japan-Korea relations if he were to become president, saying, "Lee Jae-myung's words and thoughts are standard thoughts that many people in Korea think. There is no need to generalize that he is anti-Japan or a hardliner against Japan." Lee retorted, "That's completely different. Only a very small number of people are saying things like this. Lee Jae-myung is also opposed to joint Japan-US-Korea training, and he uses politics and diplomacy for his own political purposes." The discussion heated up. Furthermore, opinions are divided on the connection between the opposition party and North Korea, which President Yoon emphasized in his speech as one of the reasons for the emergency martial law, and the future of the uncertain neighboring country is attracting attention. #Hashimoto Toru #Matsukawa Rui #Lee Sang-cheol #Kwon Yong? #Impeachment #Korea #Sunday Report THEPRIME FNN Prime Onlinehttps://www.fnn.jp/
