SEOUL - A growing corruption scandal involving a newly-appointed justice minister is bringing South Koreans from both ends of the political spectrum into the streets in numbers rarely seen since protests helped bring down former leader Park Geun-hye in 2017.
An investigation into corruption allegations involving the family of justice minister Cho Kuk, who was appointed only in September, has led to major counter-demonstrations from the liberal end of the political spectrum. “The reason I am here to support minister Cho Kuk is that previous prosecution reform has failed,” said Kim Hyeon-jung, 61, who joined a demonstration in support of Cho near the public prosecutor’s office on Saturday.
Prosecutors summoned Cho’s wife for questioning for the fourth time on Saturday, according to the Yonhap news agency. “But I got so angry over what a hypocrite Cho is,” she said while holding a sign calling for Cho to resign. “Moon is not listening to anyone except his supporters.”The scandal has broadened into a wider political clash, said Shin Jin-wook, a professor at Chung-Ang University in Seoul.
