IsoDAR seeks to place a high-power-cyclotron and target combination, as an intense source of $\bar{\nu}_e$ at the level of $\sim 10^{23}$/year, close to a kiloton-scale neutrino detector in order to gain sensitivity to very short-baseline neutrino oscillations ($\bar{\nu}_e \rightarrow \bar{\nu}_{e}$) and perform precision tests of the weak interaction, among other physics opportunities. Recently, IsoDAR has received preliminary approval to be paired with the 2.26~kton target volume liquid scintillator detector at the Yemi Underground Laboratory (Yemilab) in Korea, at a 17~m center-to-center baseline, and cavern excavation for IsoDAR is now complete. In this paper, we present the physics capabilities of IsoDAR@Yemilab in terms of sensitivity to oscillations (via inverse beta decay, IBD; $\bar{\nu}_e+p \rightarrow e^+ + n$), including initial-state wavepacket effects, and the weak mixing angle (via elastic scattering off atomic electrons, $\bar{\nu}_e + e^- \rightarrow \bar{\nu}_e + e^-$). We also introduce a study of IsoDAR sensitivity to new particles, such as a light $X$ boson, produced in the target that decays to $\nu_e \bar \nu_e$.
