Lee Jae-myung
Opposition leader Jang Dong-hyeok of the main opposition People Power Party called on Wednesday for separate special counsel probes into the Unification Church's alleged ties with ruling Democratic Party lawmakers and bribery linked to party nominations. He also demanded an independent investigation into the prosecution's controversial decision last November not to appeal a land development corruption case involving President Lee Jae-myung. The move comes amid the Democratic Party's push for a comprehensive special counsel investigation.
