The recent election of Han Dong-hoon as the new chair of the ruling People Power Party has brought renewed attention to the ongoing conflicts between him and President Yoon Suk Yeol. Han, who led the party's campaign for the April 10 general election as its interim leader, has frequently clashed with Yoon's office in Seoul. In July, Han criticized the presidential office for allegedly interfering in the party's national convention and also revealed text messages from the first lady expressing her intent to apologize for an alleged antigraft rule violation involving a luxury Dior bag. This has sparked media speculation about the escalating conflict between Yoon and Han. The tensions between Yoon and Han have been fueled by various incidents, including Han's public call for the first lady to apologize over the Dior bag scandal and his request for Yoon's office to dismiss an aide under fire for controversial remarks about press freedom. These conflicts have further deepened speculation about the strained relationship between the two figures. Despite the election result, President Yoon's office has not yet released a statement on the matter. In his speech at the national convention, Yoon emphasized the need for unity within the party and the government to address the challenges posed by the main opposition party's dominance in parliament following the April election defeat.
