The ruling party’s surprise defeat in South Korean parliamentary elections will bring political gridlock for at least the next 22 months when a new president takes office. That can’t help a country struggling to reanimate an export-dependent economy famed for the electronics brands LG and Samsung. But the economy will probably muddle through on its own. A bigger threat is the country’s other big-deal issue: its mysterious, ever-angry and possibly well-armed neighbor North Korea. The South’s gridlock is the North’s gain.
