Two former South Korean presidential secretaries summoned

These two secretaries are among the 'three contacts' who have direct contact with South Korean President Park Geun-hye, along with presidential adviser Ho-seong.

Today (November 14), two former secretaries of South Korean President Park Geun-hye, Lee Jae-man and Ahn Bong-geun, were summoned by prosecutors on suspicion of being involved in a shocking political scandal involving Choi Soon-sil, a close friend of President Park Geun-hye.

The two former secretaries, who assisted Park for nearly two decades, appeared for questioning at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office. They are among the “three contacts” with direct ties to President Park Geun-hye, along with presidential adviser Jeong Ho-seong, who was previously arrested on suspicion of leaking confidential documents from Park to Choi.

In another development on the same day, President Park Geun-hye accepted the proposal of opposition Democratic Party leader Choo Mi-ae to meet tomorrow (November 15).

This move is believed to be able to calm the scandal that has shaken Korean politics in recent days./.
