The governor of Gyeongsangnam-do Province is under a second round of grilling by a special counsel looking into his alleged involvement in an online political maneuvering scandal... also known as the "Druking scandal."
This comes after the probe team re-summoned Kim Kyoung-soo.... for another questioning session,... at 9:30 a.m. this morning,... deeming its nearly 15-hour interrogation of him on Monday through Tuesday as insufficient.
The former Democratic Party lawmaker is suspected of colluding with the influential blogger nicknamed Druking.... who bumped up the number of likes on online comments supporting the now-ruling party.
Kim has, so far, denied any knowledge of rigging activities,... as well as accusations that he offered Druking's associate a diplomatic position in Japan,... in return for support in the June local elections.
