SEOUL — The conservative candidate for South Korea’s June 3 snap presidential election issued on Thursday his most decisive apology for the previous president’s decision to impose martial law late last year, which sparked a political crisis that still drags on months later.
Speaking at a press conference, Kim Moon-soo, candidate for the right-wing People Power Party, explained that with South Korea’s economy struggling with low growth, many people in the country are suffering, and the martial law debacle added to their woes.
