Event Description

On June 3, South Koreans elected Democratic Party candidate Lee Jae-myung as the country’s next president. He was inaugurated amid deep domestic political polarization and uncertainty in external trade and security dynamics. How the new leader navigates such internal and external conditions has important implications for the U.S.-South Korea relationship and regional dynamics of the Indo-Pacific.

Please join a distinguished panel of former U.S. ambassadors to South Korea to analyze the election outcome and implications for the alliance. Moderated by KEI President and CEO Scott Snyder, Ambassadors Philip Goldberg (2022–2025), Harry Harris (2018–2021), and Kathleen Stephens (2008–2011) will discuss these topics and more.

KEI will host this hybrid panel event between 10:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. ET at its DC office and livestream on the KEI YouTube channel.
