1st meeting in 10 years
Rep. Lee Jae-myung, left, chairman of the main opposition Democratic Party of Korea (DPK), shakes hands with Federation of Korean Industries (FKI) Chairman Ryu Jin at the National Assembly in Seoul, Wednesday. It was the first such meeting since September 2015 between a liberal party leader and an FKI chairman. The party has avoided meeting the federation, citing the lobby group's connection with a corruption scandal that unfolded in 2016 and 2017 involving impeached former President Park Geun-hye. During the meeting, Ryu asked Lee to exempt high-income semiconductor researchers from the 52-hour workweek cap and reconsider the proposed revision to the Commercial Act. Yonhap
