Adhering to the privilege

In a dramatic turn of events, former Democratic Party (DP) leader Song Young-gil on Wednesday demanded that the party hold firm to protecting lawmakers from being arrested while a legislative session is underway. He is under investigation for his apparent involvement in cash handouts to other members of the party ahead of the national convention to elect the new party leader in 2021. On Monday, current DP leader Lee Jae-myung pledged to abandon the privilege though he was indicted for several charges. [PARK YONG-SEOK]
