Asia Times Coming from the wealthy family that controls the Hyundai conglomerate, Chung joined the presidential race in September on the back of his success at running the 2002 World Cup, in which the South Korean national soccer team advanced to the Final Four.

South Korea, he claims, has endured nothing but slaps in the face, such as the attacks by the North's naval forces in 1998 and 2002 and the recent admission of the covert nuclear program. www.atimes.com /atimes/Korea/DK15Dg01.html   (2413 words)
