South Korea's new president-elect Yoon Suk Yeol (C) has promised to get tough on North Korea Jung Yeon-je AFP

Seoul (AFP) – Threatening a pre-emptive strike, swiftly responding to missile tests, and telling "rude boy" leader Kim Jong Un to behave: South Korea's next president looks set to get tough on the nuclear-armed North, analysts say.

For the last five years Seoul has pursued a policy of engagement with Pyongyang, brokering high-level summits between Kim and then-US president Donald Trump while reducing joint US military drills the North sees as provocative.

For president-elect Yoon Suk-yeol -- who won a close election by a razor-thin margin Thursday -- this "subservient" approach has been a manifest failure.

The outgoing administration of President Moon Jae-in "volunteered to play middleman between the US and North Korea but was dumped by both in the end," Yoon said in a pre-election Facebook post.

Since the start of the year, Pyongyang has conducted a record-breaking nine weapons tests, including of banned hypersonic and medium range ballistic missiles.

After the North test-fired what it claimed was a reconnaissance satellite component Saturday -- Seoul said it was a disguised ballistic missile -- Yoon, 61, said the youthful Kim needed to be taken in hand.

"If you give me a chance, I will teach him some manners," he said.

On the campaign trail, he said Kim was a "rude boy", and promised that once he was in power, he would make the North Korean leader "snap out of it".

The former prosecutor has threatened a pre-emptive strike on the North "if necessary" -- something analysts say is wildly unrealistic and dangerous.

What partners? Wishful thinking is not a strategy.

Western sanctions on Russia: developing countries won’t back measures that leave them hungry​

  • Few non-Western countries have answered the US’ call to economically isolate Russia, fearing the impact of disruptions to global production and trade on their own people
  • Meanwhile, countries like China have already felt the effects of US sanctions and have no desire to inflict them on others
Among the 193 member states of the United Nations, over 150, accounting for more than 80 per cent of the global population, decided not to follow the US’ lead. Based on Reuters’ data, the countries that have implemented sanctions against Russia, with the exception of the Bahamas, belong to the geopolitical West.
