Lee Hwa-young disputes lawyer’s account of his views on President Lee

Lee Hwa-young is a former vice governor of Gyeonggi Province.

His lawyer said Lee was angry with President Lee Jae-myung and called for Lee’s release on parole.

Lee then said the lawyer’s interview did not reflect his true views and that he understood the president’s difficulties.

The exchange shows that the lawyer and Lee publicly described his position differently.
