The most significant statement in the article:

According to Lee, people’s stance on North Korea and human rights are the two major criteria that can distinguish the conservatives from the liberals.

“There are no other policy areas that could discern conservative from liberals in the country,” Lee stressed.

I think this is the first time in the Korean news media that I have seen the word ‘liberal’ used instead of that god-awful, pinko commie-soaked term ‘progressive’.

Thank you. I thought I was the only one that despised the ‘p word’.

I agree, Koreans are way too liberal on their use of “progressive.”
