  • Lee Jae-myung, the newly installed leader of South Korea’s largest opposition party, is in the crosshairs of corruption allegations, continuing a seemingly never-ending cycle of “revenge politics” among the country’s leading political factions.
  • Although police did charge Lee with any crime related to the allegations, the ruling People’s Power Party (PPP) filed an objection and have asked prosecutors to continue an investigation.
  • Although the feuds are arguably encouraged by partisan media on both sides of the political spectrum, Lim believes the public is “very tired” of the bickering and wants leaders to get back to dealing with the challenges that face the nation.
