SEOUL (Reuters) -South Korea's president-elect Yoon Suk-yeol invited disgraced former President Park Geun-hye to attend his inauguration next month, when the two met on Tuesday for first time since Yoon led a corruption probe five years ago that landed Park in prison.

Yoon, a former prosecutor-general and the new standard-bearer of Park's conservative party, is keen to heal lingering wounds in his party after barely winning last month's bitterly fought presidential election.
