SEOUL—The impeachment of South Korea’s president heralds the prospect of a new government for one of the U.S.’s closest allies with a more skeptical stance toward Washington, free trade and big business.

The U.S. moved quickly Friday to say it would work with Mr. Hwang. “We expect policy consistency and continuity across a range of fronts, including DPRK, other regional issues, and international economics and trade,” said State Department spokeswoman Anna Richey-Allen, using an acronym for North Korea.

U.S. and South Korean diplomats say ties between the two nations under the conservative administrations of Ms. Park and her predecessor, Lee Myung-bak, have been as close as at any point since American forces fought to protect the democratic South from the communist North in the Korean War of the 1950s.

However, those trade, diplomatic and defense ties, including a plan to base an advanced U.S. missile defense system in South Korea next year to protect against any North Korean attack, regularly face criticism from South Korea’s left-of-center opposition parties, which lean more toward trying to improve ties with Pyongyang and Beijing.

One of the leading presidential candidates in recent surveys is a senior figure in the largest opposition Democratic Party who is among the strongest supporters of dialogue with North Korea. Moon Jae-in, who narrowly lost to Ms. Park in the 2012 presidential election, is the former chief of staff to a previous president who pursued a “sunshine policy” of seeking to tame North Korea’s aggression through talks and economic integration.

Trade tension with the U.S. could potentially flare if Ms. Park is replaced by a left-leaning president. Huge public demonstrations against Ms. Park have been swollen by farmers and labor unions seeking more protectionist trade policies and government subsidies for products such as rice.

South Korea’s Democratic Party strongly opposed the free-trade deal with the U.S., which lowered high tariffs on American imports. Mr. Trump has in turn criticized the agreement as unfair for U.S. businesses.

Political Shift
South Korean President Park Geun-hye’s impeachment likely clears the way for new presidential contenders, many of whom come from the political left, which favors closer ties with Beijing and Pyongyang and more distance from Tokyo and Washington. Here are top candidates.

 

Ban Ki-moon, 72
The United Nations Secretary-General, a former South Korean foreign minister, is seen as a front-runner on the conservative side, though his popularity has fallen amid perceptions that he is too close to Ms. Park. Mr. Ban's term as U.N. chief ends at the end of the year.

Moon Jae-in, 63
Mr. Moon, a former leader of the main opposition party, the Democratic Party, narrowly lost the 2012 presidential election to Ms. Park. Mr. Moon favors a new push for dialogue with North Korea and a heavier regulatory hand against big businesses.

Lee Jae-myung, 51
Mr. Lee, the populist mayor of a satellite city of Seoul, has emerged as a dark horse prospect for president. Mr. Lee came out early and often against Ms. Park during the political crisis and has called for the dismantlement of major corporations.

Ahn Cheol-soo, 54
Mr. Ahn, a software entrepreneur-turned-politician who emerged during the previous election cycle as a fresh face, has seen his fortunes diminish as the perception of him as a traditional politician have grown. He remains popular with younger Koreans.

Park Won-Soon, 60
Mr. Park, a longtime human rights activist and favorite of the political left, has served the past five years as mayor of Seoul, South Korea's capital. He strongly favors engagement with North Korea and a crackdown on the dominance of big companies in the economy.
