Moon Jae-in pledged to push for peace with North Korea and get tough on South Korea’s biggest companies in his first remarks as president after a resounding election win.
Moon, 64, was officially sworn in on Wednesday after an easy victory in a vote called after his predecessor Park Geun-hye was ousted on corruption charges in March. The left-leaning candidate has promised a shift in direction after about a decade of conservative rule ended with South Korea’s biggest street protests since the 1980s and an acceleration of North Korea’s nuclear program.
