SEOUL (Reuters) – South Korean president-elect Yoon Suk-yeol said North Korea has nothing to gain from provocation, a day after the nuclear-armed North test-fired its largest intercontinental ballistic missile ever.

Yoon, a conservative who was elected on March 9 and will take office in May, made the remarks in a Facebook post on Friday.
