SOUTH KOREAN PRESIDENT KIM DAE JUNG'S SON IS JAILED. Kim Hong-up sentenced to 3 1/2 years in jail and fined for $850,000 on charges of corruption and bribery. Another son, Kim Hong-gul, will be sentenced later. Understatement of the year:
The two sons' cases have been highly embarrassing and politically damaging for Nobel Peace prize-winning President Kim who has just four months left in office.MDP candidate No (Roh) Mu-hyon can't be excited about this either.
