The Democratic Party of Korea is grappling with whether to nominate Kim Yong, a close aide to President Lee Jae-myung and former deputy director of the Institute for Democracy, for the June 3 parliamentary by-elections. Kim was sentenced to five years in prison in the second trial on charges including receiving illegal political funds, but was released on bail last August and is awaiting a Supreme Court ruling.
