Lee Jae-myung Says He Can’t Attend Corruption Trial Due to Stab Wound
Expect Lee Jae-myung to play up his one centimeter puncture wound as much as possible:

Opposition leader Lee Jae-myung will not be able to attend hearings in his corruption trial for the time being because he has yet to recover from a stabbing attack, his legal representative said Friday.
“It seems it will be hard (for Lee) to attend the trials for now,” Lee’s lawyer said during a preparatory hearing held at the Seoul Central District Court. “On the face of it, he seemed to have trouble even speaking.”

You can read more at the link, but I am not a doctor, but I am not sure how a one centimeter wound to the juglar vein impacts the vocal cords?
Stuff like this is why people think he may have arranged the “attack”…
Did the two attackers yell “This is MAGA country!” as one stabbed at him?
Did he actually cut himself, or did one of his supporters create the cosmetic wound?
Granted he may have been traumatized if it was a real attack, the timing is just too darned convenient to accept without more evidence.
