South Korea corruption

In an unprecedented move, the leader of South Korea’s main opposition party has been summoned for questioning. 

The latest scandal to rock the new administration may be the most serious: a charge that Yoon lied while on the campaign trail, violating South Korea's public office election law.

President Yoon's wife, Kim Keon Hee, has attracted controversy already.

Yoon has two important tasks in front of him: mending emergent social divisions and making institutional changes to prevent – not just punish – corruption.

Lee Jae-yong, who has been imprisoned since January, runs the Samsung group.

Lee Myung-bak was convicted of taking bribes before and during his presidency.

Two different – and contrasting – reviews of the electronics icon’s leadership have emerged since the announcement of Lee’s passing.

The trials will revisit the corruption scandal that saw Park ousted from office.

The scandal surrounding Cho Kuk taps into deeper sentiments that only the rich and powerful can succeed in South Korea.

Most South Korean presidents have faltered in their third years. Moon risks falling into the same trap.

A recent case underscores the changing trend of Korean whistleblowers -- and the longstanding challenges they continue to face.
