dailies-editorials (3)(EDITORIAL from Korea JoongAng Daily on Aug. 11)The DP needs deep soul searching to surviveThe Democratic Party (DP) is going out of control.

Kim Nam-kook during legislative sessions, its fandom-based politics, and the disclosure of nearly 20 members suspected of having received cash ahead of the 2021 national convention to elect a new party leader. Even its current leader Lee Jae-myung will be arraigned by the prosecution once again for questioning him over his potential involvement in the suspicious redevelopment project in Baekhyen-dong, Seongnam, not to mention its ongoing investigation into his pressure to Ssangbangwool Group to send $8 million to North Korea in return for favors and for his possible reward trip to Pyongyang as Gyeonggi governor.
