Korean Opposition Leader Wanted on a Arrest Warrant By Prosecutors
Very convenient that Lee Jae-myung checks himself into a hospital due to his so call hunger strike when prosecutors issue an arrest warrant for him:

Rep. Lee Jae-myung, the bedridden leader of the Democratic Party of Korea on a strike against what he calls President Yoon Suk Yeol’s “tyrannical rule,” is wanted by prosecutors on an arrest warrant request for the second time this year.
Seoul prosecutors said Monday they filed a request for an arrest warrant against Lee, who is already a defendant in two corruption trials, on three different counts of accusations.
One is that he colluded with a policy aide while he was mayor of Seongnam to hand favors such as a change in land permits to private developers, allowing them to illicitly profit from a city development project. The second is that he personated a prosecutor, and then asked a witness to testify falsely in court. The last is that he, as governor of Gyeonggi Province, paid North Korean authorities to organize his Pyongyang trip and to negotiate the province’s business deals with North Korea.

Sad that politics is always such an ugly, cynical game.
Let’s get this straight again. Lee started his hunger strike over 3 weeks ago.
Well before the Yoon’s goons, his prosecutor team, came up with the make-believe charges to arrest him, only just a couple of days ago.
Your ludicrous charges don’t even make any sense anymore.
Lee wants to destroy small Korean business while helping large international business.
Are there any anti-Korean traitors here who agree with this policy?
(Except the chinabots)
Lee wants to destroy small Korean business while helping large international business.
ChickenHead/setnaffa says that Yoon is for small business.
But it is the other way around.
Traditionally, it is the Korean right who supported big and international business at the expense of small businesses.
It is the left that, as part of their efforts to show that they support the common Korean, who supported small businesses.
But why does ChickenHead say those things when it is obvious that what he says is not true?
Simple.
ChickenHead does not care about Korean small business or the common Korean.
What he, cares is that the USFK stay in Korea forever and they do plenty joint military exercises with the ROK Armed Forces.
That and he does not want to see reapproachment between the two Koreas that may threaten the position of the USFK.
So, it is logical that he wants to see a right wing government in power and to hide his real reasons, he makes up BS about Yoon supporting small businesses.
