[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 3rd, Ha Tae-kyung, a member of the People Power Party, commented on former President Lee Myung-bak being sentenced to 17 years in prison by the Supreme Court and re-incarcerated, saying, "Once all the trials for former presidents are completely over, it would be good if President Moon Jae-in generously granted a pardon."


On the same day, on tbs radio's 'Kim Eo-jun's News Factory,' Ha said, "(The timing of the pardon) should be after all trials are finished, since former President Park Geun-hye is also involved," and added, "I would like to ask for some consideration regarding the pardon."



Ha stated, "It is difficult to defend the clear wrongdoings, but since they were the face of the country, it is very regrettable," and added, "Opposing political factions may think differently, but from the perspective of the entire nation, it is unfortunate."
