Conservative Yoon Suk Yeol took office as South Korea's president on Tuesday, facing a tougher mix of foreign policy and domestic challenges than other recent South Korean leaders encountered at the start of their presidencies. The former top prosecutor began his five-year term at midnight by taking command of South Korea's 555,000-member military and receiving a briefing on North Korea from his military chief.
