The common assessment of President Park Geun-hye's job performance has always been that she is good at foreign policy, including dealing with an unpredictable North Korea, but weak at internal matters, such as the economy and relations with the opposition party. Almost one full year after her Feb. 25 swearing-in, that assessment still appears to hold true, with her approval ratings hovering around the mid-50 percent range, due in large part to her handling of the communist North and relations with other countries.
