That's not what I meant...

Reform Party presidential candidate Lee Jun-seok, who had been polling around 10 percent and holding steady, is now facing backlash. During the third televised presidential debate on May 27, Lee stirred controversy by referencing a female body part in his remarks. The comment appeared intended to spark debate over comments by the son of Democratic Party candidate Lee Jae-myung, but the reaction from both the Democratic Party and the public was overwhelmingly negative. On Wednesday, Lee issued an apology, stating, “I sincerely apologize to the people who felt uncomfortable.” [PARK YONG-SEOK]
