The game is afoot

Chung In-bong, legal advisor to presidential hopeful Park Geun-hye, had been telling the country he had the goods on Park's main rival for the Grand National Party's presidential nomination, former Seoul mayor Lee Myung-bak.

Here the three of them are playing yut a traditional game often played on the lunar New Year holiday, falling on this weekend. Chung expects the sticks to fall and work to Park’s advantage. Park sweats with nervousness, but in the end the sticks fall in a way that is no threat to Lee’s chances of winning.

After much to-do, it was recently revealed that Chung really didn't have anything new and especially damaging to Lee after all.
