SEOUL - The deputy speaker of South Korea’s parliament joined a growing band of politicians on Wednesday who have shaved their heads in a protest against a new justice minister whose family is being investigated for suspected wrongdoing.
“It has become clear that Cho Kuk cannot be the leader of reform,” the deputy speaker, Lee Ju-young, told reporters as he sat outside the gate of the presidential Blue House to have his head shaved, a gesture of protest in South Korea.“The people’s stern order is for him to resign immediately and be investigated,” said Lee, who was joined by an opposition member of parliament getting his head shaved. Eight members of parliament have had their heads shaved.
His 28-year-old daughter has not been identified in South Korean media and she has made no public comment on the controversy.Cho is a legal scholar with a reputation as a progressive, who was previously Moon’s top aide for legal affairs.
