Seoul High Court Postpones Trial for Lee Jae-myung Until After the Presidential Election
It seems this could lead to a Constitutional crisis if Lee is convicted after he is President:
The Seoul High Court on Wednesday postponed the first hearing of Democratic Party (DP) presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung’s retrial on election law violation charges until after the June 3 presidential election, citing the need to guarantee his right to a fair trial.
The court said it postponed the hearing from May 15 to June 18 “in order to guarantee a fair electioneering opportunity to the defendant, who is a presidential candidate, and eliminate controversies about the fairness of the trial.”

Politics has risen above the law. Minjoo wants, Minjoo gets. And of course, through manipulation, bribery, and threats… this is NOT acceptable and the people are blind to this mess.. Minjoo was hooraying when the Constitutional Court sentenced in their favor.. but goes on an all out rampage at the Supreme Court for sentencing against their favor.. what kind of childish regime is this? At least the PPP accepted the Constitutional Court sentencing and moved on.. Minjoo will fight til death for their one and only (literally) dear 라이찌밍.
this is how communism starts in Korea
