Yoon hosts dinner with PPP leadership amid tensions with Han


President Yoon Suk Yeol recently returned from a trip to the Czech Republic and immediately hosted a dinner meeting with the leadership of the ruling People Power Party. This meeting is seen as a crucial test of how President Yoon will manage his relationship with PPP chief Han Dong-hoon and address various pending issues. Despite their past close relationship, tensions have arisen between Yoon and Han, particularly regarding disagreements over handling sensitive issues such as medical school admissions and controversies involving the first lady. The meeting between Yoon and the PPP leadership was initially scheduled for August but was postponed due to differing stances on key issues. Han has been pushing for discussions on the medical school quota matter and the formation of a consultative body involving the government, opposition parties, and the medical community. Additionally, controversies surrounding the first lady's acceptance of a luxury handbag and alleged interference in candidate nominations have further complicated the political landscape, contributing to President Yoon's declining approval ratings.
