South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and opposition leader Lee Jae-myung held a significant meeting on Monday, marking their first direct interaction. The meeting comes after Yoon's ruling party faced a major electoral defeat, prompting a bid to reset his presidency. During the discussions, the opposition leader, emboldened by his party's recent election win, pressed President Yoon to agree to special investigations into allegations involving top officials and his wife. Despite the pressure, no definitive agreement was reached, though the meeting was seen as a step towards future cooperation and communication between the two political figures.
