Korean Politics Debrief

EP09. People Power Party Meltdown


Listen Later

Jang-Ho looks back at an extraordinary few days in Korean politics, led by the People Power Party's attempt forcibly install former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo as the presidential candidate, despite former Labor Minister Kim Moon-soo winning the party primary. The saga involved public negotiations in front of the press, searching for loophole clauses in the party rules, a one-hour candidate registration window at 3AM, and a surprise party member poll.


We also cover Democratic Party candidate Lee Jae-myung's reprieve from legal risks and New Reform Party Lee Jun-seok's dilemma.
