A little while ago, a message came out from the White House congratulating Yoon Seok-yeol on the election.



White House spokeswoman Jen Saki said President Biden looks forward to working closely with South Korea's new president to further expand close ties between allies.



He also emphasized that the alliance, economy, and people of South Korea and the United States are ironclad.



Foreign media also reported the results of the Korean presidential election in real time with great interest.



Reuters and AFP, as well as leading US media such as the New York Times and Washington Post, reported as urgent news that Yoon Seok-yeol won the presidential election.



The US media are also paying close attention to the direction of North Korea policy development as the government is being replaced by a conservative government according to the results of this election.



The New York Times reported that the election of candidate Yoon Seok-yeol could potentially overturn the Moon Jae-in administration's policy toward North Korea and other progressive policies.



The Washington Post also predicted that South Korea's policy toward North Korea's nuclear ambitions and the rise of China would change significantly.



Washington's attention is focused on how to find a solution to the problem of denuclearization of North Korea with the new South Korean government in the future as international sanctions against Russia are in progress due to the Ukraine war.
