Democratic Party (DP) leader Lee Jae-myung is walking on a tight rope with only six days left before the April 10 parliamentary elections after controversy arose over three DP candidates’ aberrant pasts: Yang Mun-seok for grabbing an illegal loan from a lender; Kim Jun-hyuk for his allegation that former president Park Chung Hee might have exploited young Korean girls taken as military sex slaves during the Japanese colonial rule; and Gong Young-woon over gifting a house to his 22-year-old son during his military service shortly before regulations took effect.
