A group of lawmakers from four major political parties, excluding the main opposition Liberty Korea Party (LKP), hold a press conference at the National Assembly, Wednesday, to urge the LKP to expel three lawmakers ― Kim Jin-tae, Kim Soon-rye and Lee Jong-myeong ― over disparaging remarks they made against victims of a brutal military crackdown during the May 18 Gwangju Democratization Movement and their relatives. Over 150 lawmakers adopted a resolution to demand their expulsion. Yonhap
