Presidential elections in early March 2022.
The mostly conservative Korean media is trying to frame negative and sensational accusations against the ruling liberal party candidate as newsworthy and relevant. Also, the conservative party candidate, Yoon Seok-youl, has taken to slandering and insulting the current President and ruling party candidate, Lee Jae-myung.
I think it's not wise to call for Yoon to call people fools and idiots, and say that Lee is a felon.
Yoon used to be the leading candidate with around 47% selecting him in polls. Now, the percentage of people voting for Yoon in polls is around 29% and people voting for Lee is around 37%.
Apparently the change in the polls has moved Yoon to act and talk even more like Trump. LOL. Out of touch with the times.
Yoon also has a lot of other problems with his mother-in-law being recently jailed, wife falsifying resumes in the past, and allegations of personal wrongdoing.
Due to the elections, the liberal party is now sending spokespeople to news shows to counter conservative speakers. I don't normally watch the news, but nowadays it's just so enjoyable to hear logical arguments to conservative nonsense.
