Shows that, regardless of politics, he’s a man, not a petulant child.
US Politicians could learn from that.
Well, once we stop the cheating as well as South Korea has done.
Here’s hoping Yoon doesn’t end up being yet another arrested conservative in the tradition of Park Geun-hye and Lee Myeong-bak.

And knowing how Korean politics work. I give it a year before something comes up and the DPK brings up impeachment to a vote.
