South Korea’s new president says he will no longer appease Kim Jong Un, says recent attempts at peace with North Korea were a ‘proven failure’

South Korea’s days of appeasing its neighbor to the north are over, as South Korea’s new president, Yoon Suk Yeol, said that any new talks between the two countries must be initiated by Kim Jong Un.

Yoon said, “I think the ball is in Chairman Kim’s court – it is his choice to start a dialogue with us.”
