The Uri Party

Lim Chae-jung (right), the chairman of the Uri Party, and Jung Se-gyun (middle), the floor leader, are listening to the keynote proposal of Lim Hyeok-baik, a professor at Korea University, at a members workshop in the Seoul Educational and Cultural Center, Yangjae-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul, yesterday. Some lawmakers’ objections over Lim’s harsh criticism of political parties made the atmosphere rather uncomfortable.
