Lee Jae-myung Admitted into the Hospital Due to Hunger Strike in Effort to Avoid Corruption Charges
Here is typical Korean political theater from Lee Jae-myung to try and gain public sympathy as he fights corruption allegations. The fact that he is going to these lengths of politcal theater shows that he is very concerned he is going to get the Lee Myung-bak treatment:
Opposition leader Lee Jae-myung expressed his desire Monday to continue his hunger strike even after he was taken to a hospital due to deteriorating health on the 19th day of his fast earlier in the day, officials said.
Spokesperson Han Min-soo of the main opposition Democratic Party (DP) delivered the information to reporters after Lee was transferred to a nearby hospital earlier, suffering dizziness and a sharp drop in blood sugar levels.
“Lee will only receive a minimal amount of IV treatment and will not consume any food. The move is interpreted as his will to put a stop to the reckless administration,” Han said.
Regarding Lee’s condition, Han said Lee is out of immediate danger but is far from regaining vitality.

This is what happens to commies and corporatists who think the government should be a barrier to small business.
Starve in a fire.
Sic semper tyranis.
Let’s get this straight.
The title in the Yonhap News said:
Opposition leader to continue hunger strike at hospital
And this is GI Korea’s own made-up title:
LEE JAE-MYUNG ADMITTED INTO THE HOSPITAL DUE TO HUNGER STRIKE IN EFFORT TO AVOID CORRUPTION CHARGES
There’s a big difference between what’s called news and propaganda.
“LEE JAE-MYUNG ADMITTED INTO THE HOSPITAL DUE TO HUNGER STRIKE IN EFFORT TO AVOID CORRUPTION CHARGES”
Did he go on hunger strike to get pony?
@Korean Man
I’m not much of a fan of Lee Jae Myung.
However, it’s not difficult to tell that GI Korea is biased against Lee considering that he is the leader of the opposition party that GI Korea, in the past, has frequently criticized for its policies regarding the DPRK, among others.
If GI Korea reported on alleged corruption by Yoon’s wife and some of the not so favorable antics of Yoon and his inner circle, I would be inclined to think that GI Korea was reporting things fairly from both perspectives.
But as we all know GI Korea has chosen to gloss over the less than favorable aspects of Yoon, his wife, his mother-in-law, and his inner circle.
To be fair, GI Korea’s views are right wing so it isn’t surprising that he is biased against Lee, while being favorable to Yoon and people associated with him.
On the other hand that leaves him wide open to criticism that he is engaging in “propaganda” against Lee and the DPK, as you have suggested.
That and he probably wants to attract more clicks.
