The quagmire of South Korea's presidential election, which has lost its sense of direction due to a series of family scandals

(Meilan Tanaka: Korean writer)

With the sigh of "here we go again", he seems to have fallen into the illusion of watching professional wrestling curse. This is a "verbal attack" between the increasingly fierce candidates of the ruling party and the opposition party in the context of the upcoming presidential election in March 2022.

　Especially looking at the response to the scandal on both sides of the family, it is really ugly. The close-up is all about the scandal of the candidates. Both camps have gone astray in an unusual election campaign in which both camps can't find a chance to win outside the scandal.

　For example, Li Zaiming, the candidate of the ruling "Common Democratic Party", needless to say, relatives and other scandals around the country have been exposed one after another, inseparable from the topic. The content of the scandal is also something that makes people want to frown.

　What has been said so far includes an extramarital relationship with actress Kimbson, a past accused of drunken driving and intimate relationships with violent gangs. What gives people a particularly strong impression is that Li's nephew used to be familiar with women and female mothers because of the entanglement of breaking up with women in the past.

　Although this was not caused by Li himself or his immediate family, it also made it clear that Li advocated "lenient punishment" to his nephew on the basis of undertaking his nephew's defense. Although he escaped from his nephew's attack, Mr. Li, the father of a seriously injured dating woman who fell from home, expressed displeasure at "dating DV" and denounced it in a strong tone when he explained the incident.

　Then came the scandal about Li's eldest son. The online chat content of the eldest son who made money from illegal gambling and was thought to be related to it has been leaked.

　According to reports in Chosun Ilbo and other major media, Li's eldest son wrote more than 200 articles on online poker-related forums in 2019-20 just to show off how to make money by gambling. In addition, some posts suggest that he often earns money from gambling to buy sex.

　The contribution is about the names of massage parlors that actually exist on the outskirts of Seoul, as well as messages mocking shops and custom ladies in secret words. For another user, "(gambling) makes money, you also buy (woman)", and some people even suggest buying spring.

　In addition to criticizing the immoral behavior of the presidential candidate's eldest son, there are also calls for speculation about his promotion to a prestigious Koryo university and his internship to a financial company after graduation. In the face of a series of doubts about the eldest son, Mr. Li knelt down in front of the camera and put out the fire.
