[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Daehyun] Kim Kyung-soo, Governor of Gyeongnam, who was indicted in connection with the 'Druking comment manipulation' case, had his prison sentence confirmed by the Supreme Court on the 21st. Kim's legal representative stated, "We cannot hide our great disappointment in the Supreme Court, which we believed would see through various falsehoods and uncover the substantial truth," adding, "We worry that today's ruling may remain a stain in the history of the Supreme Court, which should firmly uphold and declare the fundamental principles of criminal justice."
