SEOUL -- Imprisoned former South Korean President Park Geun-hye appealed to conservatives Wednesday for unity ahead of the April 15 general election as surging coronavirus cases weigh on the progressive government of successor Moon Jae-in.
"I call on all of you who held up the taegukgi to join together as one around the existing giant opposition party," Park said in a statement issued through a lawyer. Conservatives have adopted the taegukgi, the South Korean national flag, as a symbol in recent years.
