As the United States adds South Korea to the 'sensitive country' list, the ruling and opposition parties are engaged in a blame game. The People Power Party argues that the opposition's excessive impeachment attempts have weakened the government's diplomatic capabilities, while the Democratic Party counters that the Yoon Suk-yeol administration's incompetence and insurrection have caused a diplomatic crisis. The Democratic Party points out this is the first downgrade of the Korea-U.S. alliance and demands the swift removal of President Yoon. The New Reform Party of Korea also characterizes this as a diplomatic disaster and emphasizes that the government must make diplomatic efforts before the sensitive country designation takes effect following the impeachment.
