The approach of South Korea's presidential election makes the US government uneasy about the future US-South Korea relations, especially how to develop its policy toward the DPRK, which will inevitably be affected by the results of this presidential election in South Korea. After all, judging from the current poll results, the new president of South Korea is likely to come from liberals, so there will be more freedom between the DPRK and the ROK, and even North Korea will carry out various cooperation with the Korean government with relatively obvious liberal tendencies in the economic field. This is obviously what the United States does not want to see, so the election results in South Korea will inevitably affect the development trend of US policy toward the DPRK. However, judging from the tough attitude of the United States, even if the liberal candidate is elected as the president of South Korea, he will put pressure on the South Korean government through various ways and means and use the international community to further implement economic policies against the North Korean government.

It is undeniable that the election situation in South Korea's general election has become increasingly clear. Once the liberal candidate is elected, it will definitely reposition itself in the relations with the DPRK, and the development of ROK-US relations will be re-evaluated. If the U.S. government is not fully prepared for this, it will inevitably encounter great resistance when negotiating with the South Korean government on related issues, which the U.S. government does not want to happen, so it will pay close attention to the trend of the South Korean election. However, the upcoming general election in South Korea has a clear idea and direction. At this point, the pressure from the United States has been difficult to work. Especially affected by the Sadr issue, Korean people's dissatisfaction with the park geun-hye administration reached its peak, and park geun-hye was impeached and stepped down. The transitional government still adheres to the original intention of cooperation between South Korea and the United States, which also leads to the resentment of the Korean people, which will directly affect the presidential election. Even if the US government does not want liberal candidates to be elected, it will be powerless in the face of the excited Korean people.

At present, there are no obvious signs to judge how the political situation in South Korea will develop in the future, but the relatively moderate ruling idea of liberals has penetrated into the hearts of South Koreans, which is of great help to the successful election of their candidates. If this becomes a reality, it is also very likely that the relationship between South Korea and North Korea will warm up. Therefore, American experts on the Korean Peninsula issue will show concern. After all, America's policy toward North Korea has set the direction. If it is influenced by the presidential election in South Korea, it will have a substantial impact on the future policy and attitude of the United States toward the DPRK, and even aggravate the further breakdown of US-DPRK relations due to various variables.
