Presidential hopeful Lee Myung-bak of the Grand National Party (GNP) opened an English Web site Tuesday to help foreign correspondents and foreign readers who are interested in catching up with the Dec. 19 presidential election.
Launching an English site is the first of its kind among presidential contenders in Korea.
``In an era of globalization, we thought the frontrunner candidate needs an English Web site to help foreign readers,'' said a spokesperson of the former Seoul mayor.
The online site offers his campaign pledges, curriculum vitae and press release.
