1997年金大中当选韩国总统，标志着韩国首次实现了从执政党到在野党的和平民主过渡，也标志着韩国对朝鲜和东亚战略思想的重大转变。这一转变是由一场金融危机催化的，这场危机在1997年12月总统选举前几周使迅速增长的韩国经济陷入困境，暴露了政府和公司财务管理的严重弱点，突然将一个自豪地获得经济合作与发展组织（经合组织）地位和10美元，人均国内生产总值每年在国际债务持有人和国际货币基金组织的摆布。危机的紧迫性及其所代表的财政和公司治理失败最初主导了所有议程，并严重限制了金大中的战略选择。它的解决成为管理所有其他政策问题的先决条件。
Kim Dae-jung’s election as president of the ROK in 1997 marked the first time that South Korea had experienced a peaceful democratic transition from the ruling to the opposition party, and represented a dramatic transition in strategic thought toward North Korea and East Asia. This transition was catalyzed by a financial crisis that brought to its knees a rapidly growing Korean economy in the weeks before the December 1997 presidential elections, exposing serious weaknesses in government and corporate financial management and suddenly placing a South Korea that had proudly achieved Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) status and a $10,000 per year per capita GDP at the mercy of international debt-holders and the IMF. The urgency of the crisis and the fiscal and corporate governance failures that it represented initially dominated all agendas and severely limited Kim Dae-jung’s strategic choices. Its resolution became a prerequisite for management of all other policy issues.
