In all likelihood, the ruling party will collapse sometimes after this election, and a new party will emerge to take on GNP. It would be headed by Goh Gun, a former prime minister. The regional alignment is back again. Goh Gun is Cholla's favorite.

"Public confidence in Roh, a liberal who won the presidential vote in 2002, and his Uri Party has dwindled because of what many see as their arrogant and incompetent handling of both domestic and foreign affairs."
IN 2002, I described Roh as "South Korea's Jimmy Carter"...
hmmm, perhaps I was right!

"Seoul's relations with Tokyo are at a low ebb over Japan's wartime past and territorial disputes."
That's not a new attitude.
"Ties with the United States, meanwhile, have been strained by what many in Washington view as Seoul's inclination to engage with North Korea rather than confront it. The two sparred recently over human rights in North Korea, with Seoul accusing a U.S. envoy of being biased and ill-informed."
That might be relatively newer. It appears that the GNP might be good for us and for the Republic (south) of Korea to continue to be independent.
