Ask what Korea is talking about.

The special counsel team investigating the June 3 local election ballot shortage raided the National Election Commission (NEC) headquarters and its Seoul office on Wednesday over allegations of preferential treatment in choosing a ballot printer maker and suspected tampering of official voting logs, the Korea Times and KBS World report. The raid follows two days of earlier searches this week related to suspicions that the NEC illegally paid commissioners monthly allowances, with the special counsel team saying commissioners received 905.8 million won ($677,000) in improper stipends, according to the Korea Times. The team, led by special counsel Lee Tae-han, has also raided the home of a former NEC chief over alleged improper overseas trips and searched a handball gymnasium used as a ballot-counting center ahead of an on-site ballot inspection, Yonhap and KBS World report.
