Although South Korea got so many political scandals, but its people proved to be so tough and merciless to those corrupted politicians. The Koreans would put shame to other south east Asian countries, especially Taiwan, always so lenient and tolerant to their corrupt officials!

Can we send Trump to be tried over there?
