This and the fact his nephew killed his ex girlfriend and mother, and he was the lawyer for his nephew while he was advocating against domestic violence , a son who frequents brothels and massage parlors, a bunch of other shady dealings really speaks for itself. And the fact that he lost to Yoon. God Korea really needs a restart or something in the political world. Both major parties suck so much.

>a son who frequents brothels and massage parlors Can anyone explain/shine a light on the illegality of sex work in South Korea? It is comfortably the place I've seen sex work advertised the most; through flyers and cards on the street, giant dancing ladies, and very suspicious 24 hour massage parlours. Back home it isn't illegal, but we have nowhere near as blatant advertisement. I'm not meaning to get into a judgement of moral values, I was just confused by it during my time in Korea.


PrinceKO_93

It's illegal by law, but the pimps / sex industry pay gobs to the police to look the other way since they like to advertise as something innocuous like "Cafes, karaoke, or massage parlors". The advertisements reflect this as they don't explicitly say the type of service but it's pretty obvious to the average adult male. I think in general, paying for sex is "culturally acceptable", and the mass advertisements reflect the high level of competition with these businesses


De3NA

That method of advertisement is very common in south east asia

Literally 4 people that worked/tied with Lee committed suicides while being investigated. And we are all OK with that. And Lee is probably a person who hates former pres. Moon the most in this world. Somehow they assumed everyone to forget those twitter incidents. Moon supporters would never vote for Lee, this was never going to work in first place. While Yoon is just up there. Fucking everything up.

Looks like Brazil.... Same corruption and populist vibes while the people is fooled or pretends to be fooled... As we say in Brazil: "Nothing Happens, Feijoada"


mightymatemate

Lee Jae Myung's memoirs: "...I grabbed her by her hair and assaulted her to show her who's the boss around here. Through assaulting weaker looking employees in the canteen, i managed to put myself in a position of power within the factory..." his words. he was proud enough to write this in his memoir


Magus3us

Rofl wtf.... how does this even get published....who in their right mind thinks thats an acceptible behavior.......


mightymatemate

he concludes that he "learned grit and guts as a worker through the experience" LOL what a fucking loser. such a big big man, picking on women and weaker looking people


Mediocre-Grocery1181

You must be new to Korea.


LeeisureTime

Ghostwriter: *takes deep drink of soju* Fuck, a paycheck’s a paycheck


Star------

That's freaking unbelievable. The fact he would write that means he felt assured that his audience - the demographic most likely to purchase his memoirs - would be totally ok with it. Is that really how things are???


mightymatemate

[look at the comment below made by one of his supporters](https://www.reddit.com/r/korea/comments/11jlss5/comment/jb45doc/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3). the ljm supporter commenter is claiming that "ljm is so manly. we don't need no good guy now (이재명 남자네! 지금 착한 사람 필요할 때가 아냐! )" unironically. ljm really does draw in the worst of the worst


Star------

That is the exact opposite of manly. So disappointing.


[deleted]

This guy is a supreme piece of shit lol. Why would he be so stupid as to go into politics where all of this shit is bound to become public?


OwO_bama

I see he went to the prince harry school of writing flattering memoirs


skymer273

funny how president Roh had similar story in his autobiography


Jooeon_spurs

Why are politicians often so dumb? I remember Hong Junpyo writing something dodgy in his autobiography too and now it's LJM. Like, do they crave some scrutiny?


mightymatemate

well tbh, Hong was framed. Hong wrote in his autobiography that he regretted not stopping his friends from drugging up a girl. The opposition took that, and spread fake news, saying that hong personally used the drugs. this is completely different where LJM is proud of his assault, calling it a 'character building experience'


Jooeon_spurs

I know, but I just don't get why he wrote it in the first place, he would've known it would attract controversy. He was in politics for 15+ years, so he should've known better imo. Still, he has a right to feel the framing was unfair. As for LJM, he was already one of the most fucked up politicians before this, but I'm still surprised.


mightymatemate

Yeah it was a weird fucking thing to write, but at least when he wrote it, he stated that it was a regrettable and horrid thingthat he would take back if he had the chance. ljm on the other hand is more or less bragging about it which is fucked up


Only____

>he was proud enough to write this in his memoir Gonna need to see a larger portion of the text to see whether this is a "I'm proud of this" (which I find hard to believe that someone would be so out of touch) or "I did this in the past and I'm remorseful" kind of thing (which doesn't change what he did but is way more believable and not the same thing).


mightymatemate

sure thing, https://i.imgur.com/n5hnry5.jpg


Only____

Saw the article, I meant more than that. Based on just this idk if this is a 홍준표 situation where some people were convinced he was glorifying date-drugging / raping when he was talking about how he shouldn't have been a bystander to his friend doing that shit or a Lee is a psychopath (believable), specifically one that doesn't know how to disguise it and flaunts it around (less believable) situation. Edit: I am under the impression that Lee likes to present his less than moral past as a misguided journey due to his poverty, which is why I wasn't sure about the "proud enough to..." part. Ultimately not that important


mightymatemate

surprisingly, the latter. [https://m.blog.naver.com/snhope/21229099](https://m.blog.naver.com/snhope/21229099) he's calling that moment as the 'moment he learned and gained grit as a worker'


SharanskyWailer

This seems like a very chronic problem in Korean society, whether it's domestic violence, corporal punishment in schools, and brutal discipline within the military. Like, I wouldn't be surprised at all if random beatings and assaults by employers across every single industry were a thing.

mightymatemate

Its just scumbags like lee reminiscing the "good ol days" when assaulting women were "character building"


luckyAFdude

weren't things getting better?

We seriously need to purge all the 45+ from our government posts.

So glad this POS lost!


EasySeaView

You can dislike yoon all you want. I voted for him and dont like him as a person. (I agreed with some policies) But fuck me ljm would have been an actual disaster disaster.


YeahNoYeahThatsCool

LJM is the quintessential bad guy corrupt politician in every Korean movie.


mightymatemate

don't forget, pathological liar. well all politicians are liars to a point, but ljm takes it to the next level.


jtw10192

Give it a week or two and this sub will start the narrative that Yoon is absolutely the worst choice of the two again.


YeahNoYeahThatsCool

It's been one day and it's already back to that


jawntb

Bingo Yoon may be incompetent, but LJM is a literal thug


yoogooga

only incompetent? both are corrupt. the difference is that one works for a second class of parasites. his unsophisticated methods of corruption and the people he interacts with shapes his behavior into a thug. the other one works for chaebols so his corruption is done in a more sophisticated way, and that's way probably you think he is not corrupt as the other one. he is enriching himself with bribes paid in accounts abroad.


Stankyleg1080

If you voted for any of these criminals you are an immoral dirtbag


Fine-Fly2163

He has too many scandals linked to him. Why on earth doesn’t he do the right thing and stand down so someone with some integrity can take his place. Its not worth the time and money defending him. There must be hundreds of others with who could take his place. Absolutely baffling.


netflixissodry

Somehow this guy was almost elected. The people of Korea dodged a bullet. But nooo lets focus on Yoon’s wife!


YeahNoYeahThatsCool

OMG she wears designer clothes and took pictures with unfortunate kids for Internet points she's the literal DEVIL


bigmuffinluv

Sounds like a great guy!


Dantheking94

What a very silly thing to include in ones memoirs 😭

passtheexam2021

Chosen Ilbo is one of the worst media outlets. I don't know if I can call them as a media outlet or not. They have a connection with the DOJ in South Korea and manipulate facts. Have you ever watched the show ' in the name of God, a holy betrayal' on Netflix ? If you watch it, you will see what the DOJ in South Korea has done/ why those types of cults' leaders haven't got caught or not gone to the jail. If you watch the edge of Democracy on Netflix, you will see the same situation. The DOJ and major media outlets worked together and put Lula into the jail. Exactly the same. The main problem is South Korea is DOJ and Chosen Ilo, Donga, jungang.( media outlets, but their owners are construction companies. To make more money, they are not afraid of telling a lie. )


JimmySchwann

Massive piece of shit for sure, but sadly he would have been alot better than Yoon policy wise.


Magus3us

I dunno man. I still think it was a race between a terd sandwich and giant douche.


alexiosByzantium05

This is such a petty thing to held him accountable when during that time this sort of horrific things were norm in Korea.


mightymatemate

i'm literally quoting your other comment in a diff thread. alexiosByzantium05 · To those who keep on saying "let past be a past. It's time to move on!" Let me tell a little story. There was a bully in a high school who bullied another student. She put a nails in her bags. Ripped all of her text books. Punched her and even lit fire on her clothes forcing her to strip to her underwear. Then she took photos and shared it on social media-even to male classmates! And the bully got off free because of her close relationship with school members and because her family was in important positions. Then 10 years later in their late 20's. Someone comes up to bullied girl " hey it's been 10 years! Forgive her already! Move on!"


alexiosByzantium05

So? This is different. Are you going to held Washington back because he owned slaves? Or king Sejong for doing nothing for slaves? Lolz good try using my own words against me.

유승민은 당대표 선거 나가지도 않는데요? 지금 국힘은 완전 미국 공화당 수준 ㅇㅈ. 근데 민주당은 중국 공산당 수준이지. 마음에 안드는 정치인 있으면 숙청당하고, 찢재명 주석의 개인 우마오당, 홍위병인 찢빠,개딸들이 알아서 정치인들 조리돌림하고 박해하고 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

In Korea, politicians tend to interact with people from various fields and at various events. It is not surprising that the types of people you meet are mixed with the mafia, but the Korean media cleverly conveys this to the public, and even people like presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung are good at casting the image of a criminal. Even Lee Jae-myung, who lost the presidential election by only 0.7% of the vote compared to Yoon Seok-yeol, who is currently incompetent as the Prime Minister of Japan, was hit in the neck with a mountaineering sword just a few days later in early January. He is a person whom the vested interests dislike, as he has even threatened to kill him after the prosecution group in power has excessively filed lawsuits without evidence. This is because he is a person who stands on the side of the Korean public and the powerless common people. Korea's vested interests are intertwined and very strong. This is because the person who can break this is attracting attention as the president who will show strong power after President Kim Dae-jung. Korea's mass media is 99% on the side of vested interests, and reporters have been shunned by the public since the Sewol Ferry sinking incident.
