SEOUL -- As South Korean political parties gear up for the presidential election slated for March 2022, key candidates have been preoccupied with attacking each other in bitter smear campaigns.
Bearing the brunt of these negative political campaigns are two leading candidates: Gyeonggi Province Gov. Lee Jae-myung, who is seeking nomination for the ruling Democratic Party, and former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl, who hopes to be the candidate of the conservative People Power Party.
