Significance Despite all this, his ruling Democratic Party (DP) has used its rare parliamentary majority to force through a raft of far-reaching legislation affecting politics, the economy and relations with North Korea. Impacts Labour and ‘fair economy’ legislation will increase costs for businesses. A third wave of COVID-19 -- the largest yet -- may finally force the government to impose a lockdown. Hopes that banning cross-border propaganda balloon launches by activists will lure Pyongyang back to engagement are unduly optimistic.

Significance Seoul anticipates a North Korean delegation of 400-500 people, including not only athletes but also reporters, observers and officials. Impacts Pyongyang's Olympic olive branch is a major tactical change, but it is premature to see it as a strategic shift. Military talks will address the cross-border security implications of Pyongyang joining the Games, but probably not broader issues. South Korea's president will try to extend the Olympic thaw into other spheres, but wider engagement will prove tricky. The US president is supportive, claiming credit for the breakthrough, but Washington may see further South Korean concessions as excessive.
