[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Soyoung] Attorney Jung Cheolseung, who represents the family of the late former Seoul Mayor Park Wonsoon, argued regarding the controversy surrounding Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-myung, saying, "Shouldn't we give him at least a slight advantage?"

On the 23rd, Jung posted on his Facebook, stating, "I suddenly thought that it might be reasonable to give a slight advantage to Governor Lee, who rose from the extremely poor class in our society to become a presidential candidate."

He began by saying, "This is just my unfounded feeling, but I think Governor Lee had something going on with a certain actress, and his explanation about the shocking verbal abuse seems like an excuse."

He added, referring to the emerging allegations of Governor Lee's 'actress scandal' and the 'verbal abuse of his sister-in-law,' "It seems he has a personality that struggles with emotional control."

On the afternoon of the 19th, Lee Jae-myung, a preliminary candidate, is speaking at the Democratic Party presidential candidate debate held at the Gwangju MBC Public Hall in Nam-gu, Gwangju.

He then defended him, saying, "Aren't these flaws stemming from the wounds or trauma left by the harsh life Governor Lee has lived? If we understand the mental wounds or trauma he gained from his environment, what other disqualifications could there be?" Governor Lee has previously revealed that after graduating from elementary school, he worked in a factory where his arm was crushed by machinery, resulting in a disability diagnosis.

In response, when a netizen pointed out, "Then should we apply advantages to all people who have risen from the extremely poor class in our society? Those who do wrong should be held accountable," Attorney Jung reiterated, "It's just a light thought that there should be some leniency regarding the negative factors that come from being from an extremely poor class."
