How an Anal Acupuncturist Became a Leading Topic in a ROK Presidential Debate
You know you don’t have much to debate when you have to play the anal acupuncturist card:
Yoon Seok-youl, the leading opposition presidential candidate, has increasingly faced questions about superstitious or unscientific beliefs, this time over his alleged ties to an anal acupuncture specialist that he claims to have no knowledge of.
The allegation surfaced Tuesday during the sixth TV debate among presidential contenders of the main opposition People Power Party, when one of Yoon’s competitors, former Rep. Yoo Seong-min, asked him if he has met someone “known to perform acupuncture on a strange and particular area.”
Yoon replied he had not. (…….)
Yoo’s campaign reprised the attack on Wednesday, issuing a statement asking “what is Yoon trying to hide by lying” about his relationship with the man.
Yoon’s campaign fired back: “Not only did (Yoo) turn the TV debate into a quiz show on psychics, he is now spreading lies. This attempt to damage Yoon is nothing short of shameful.”
On the video, a spokesperson for Yoon said the man had tried to approach the candidate at the event but was restrained by Yoon’s aides.
Moreover, the man in question was a regular feature not only at political events attended by Yoo, the former lawmaker, but also other political heavyweights such as the ruling Democratic Party’s presidential contender, Lee Nak-yon, minor People’s Party leader Ahn Cheol-soo and former U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, according to Yoon’s campaign.

One might well ask Yoo Seong-min how he came to know so much about this alternative health approach and whether he participated in a lot of the group therapy sessions or just the 12.
Anonymous sources told your intrepid reporter that there was a plot to sell CH Nickels and devalue SetnaffaCoin at these “encounter groups.” I told them CH would have invited more attractive accupuncturists.
It’s probably just Korean politics (and SetnaffaCoin was just a bad joke); but Presidents Park and 2MB were likely jailed for far less than these absolutely spurious allegations.
I’d ask President Moon to investigate it; but he probably already had plans for Saturday–and being connected to things that sound like they spread HIV/AIDS (even to those wearing a 100 Won Chinese mask) are kinda low on my priority list anyway.
Yeah, this reads like I pulled it from a certain orifice. Just like the original story against Yoon.

I checked out this scandalous listing
which the media won’t be resisting.
They just cannot pass
on needling ass,
but I guess it’s better than fisting.
DP. End of story.
