| Power Points | Still using an iron fist inside a steel glove, Kim has steered South Korea out of its economic crisis. His willingness to allow the mighty Daewoo conglomerate go under showed there will be no let-up in corporate restructuring. On the negative side, his "anti-labor" policies and perceived untrustworthinesss have lost him public support, but a summit meeting in June, 2000 with North Korean leader Kim Jong Il suggests his so-called sunshine policy may be paying off.
