South Korea has sworn in a new president. Yoon Suk-yeol took the oath of office earlier today at a ceremony in the capital Seoul, promising in his inaugural address he would work to denuclearize North Korea, which he called the South’s “main enemy.”

President Yoon Suk-yeol: “If North Korea genuinely embarks on a process to complete denuclearization, we are prepared to work with the international community to present an audacious plan that will vastly strengthen North Korea’s economy and improve the quality of life for its people.”

Yoon is a hawkish conservative former prosecutor and political newcomer who holds anti-labor and anti-feminist views. As a candidate for president, Yoon threatened a preemptive strike against North Korea. He also promised to abolish South Korea’s Ministry of Gender Equality, though he has since backed off that pledge.
