[Cartoon] Orgy like the old days

Kang Sam-jae has announced he’ll be running for office in by-elections scheduled for July, signaling his return to politics. His previous political experience includes being the point man for the 119 billion won (119 million USD) in illegal donations the Grand National Party used in regional elections in 1995 and general elections in 1998.

Other figures from the past are trying to make a comeback, as well.

"Old establishment" conservatives couldn’t be happier, and they’re partying like some of the young people celebrating Korea’s football win over Togo this week. One conservative is assaulting Miss June 15, that being the date of the 2000 inter-Korean summit in Pyongyang, the anniversary celebration of which displeased many conservatives. An alarming number of women were sexually assaulted during partying after the Togo game.
