Opposition leader pays tribute to late Korean independence fighter

Lee Jae-myung, chief of the main opposition Democratic Party, visits the tomb of late Korean independence fighter Hong Beom-do at the national cemetery in the central city of Daejeon on Aug. 29, 2023. Lee's visit to the tomb came as the government has been considering relocating busts of Hong at the defense ministry and the Korea Military Academy in Seoul due to his past record of collaborating with Soviet communist forces.
