President Yoon Suk Yeol and main opposition Democratic Party of Korea leader Lee Jae-myung met for the first time at the presidential office in Yongsan, Monday, amid expectations that this meeting could signal a shift away from the confrontational politics that have characterized the relationship between the two blocs over the past two years. It took 720 days and a crushing election defeat for the ruling camp to witness the two former 2022 presidential contenders meeting for talks.
