‘Korea crossed the line too far’ disgraced singer’s lawyer cries foul after 3rd visa denial
Rep. Chyung Ho-joon, who had failed to receive the main opposition party's ticket to run in the April 13 general elections, joined the minor People's Party on Wednesday.
Chyung's move allows the People's Party to form a parliamentary negotiation bloc by having 20 seats in the 300-strong National Assembly.
Last week, the main opposition Minjoo Party of Korea named candidates for parliamentary seats to be contested in the April 13 polls, but excluded Chyung and other veteran politicians, including former Prime Minister Lee Hae-chan.
Chyung is a son of Chyung Da-chul, a former adviser to the Minjoo Party. The senior Chyung had said he would persuade his son to join the minor People's Party and would join it as well.
The People's Party broke away from the New Politics Alliance for Democracy, the predecessor of the Minjoo Party in January following an internal strife. (Yonhap)
