Ask what Korea is talking about.

The Seoul High Court is delivering its appeal verdict today (Oct. 23) in the case of Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon, who is accused of having his poll expenses paid by a third party in the 'Myeong Tae-kyun opinion poll payment' scandal. The court handling the appeal previously acquitted former President Yoon Suk Yeol on political fund law violations, and the ruling People Power Party expects a different outcome from the first instance. The verdict will determine whether Oh keeps his mayoral post and his prospects for a presidential run, with both ruling and opposition parties closely watching. Chosun Ilbo reports that Democratic Party lawmaker Seo Young-kyo, chair of the National Assembly's Legislation and Judiciary Committee, said during a parliamentary audit on Oct. 22, "I ask the court to sentence Mayor Oh to imprisonment."
