The Reform Party on Wednesday proposed the National Assembly stipulate the legal status of the president’s spouse in the law. It could be a political offensive from the minor opposition. But it is also true that Korea’s current politics cannot take a step forward due to the deepening suspicions around first lady Kim Keon Hee. It is deplorable to see such developments today. And yet, many people would gladly agree to the need for the legislature to clearly define the legal status of the presidents’ spouses.
