Lee Jun-seok, a lawmaker from the New Reform Party, became a hot topic after he was photographed sleeping soundly on the subway, leaning on a male passenger sitting next to him. He has now offered an explanation for the situation at the time.
On the 14th, Rep. Lee appeared on the CBS Radio program "Park Jae Hong's Battle" and explained the situation at the time, saying, "That was the 4th line (of the subway), but the next day's schedule was in Seoul, so
I go to Sanggye-dong, and if I have a schedule in Dongtan, I go to Dongtan. People who take lines 4 and 7 don't think it's strange that I take the subway.
Lee said, "The person who lent me his shoulder did not wake me up, and when I woke up around 10 o'clock, he was not there. It was on Line 4, so I was worried that he would not come.
I believe you are an office worker living in the Dobong or Gangbuk area, and I apologize for causing you trouble on your way home from a tired day at work."
Lee then said that the host had said, "Some people are saying, 'This is a political show. Someone has already taken a picture of this and posted it.'"
"There are people who are skeptical, but at least if you ask the people of Sanggye-dong, it's not something that would become a hot topic. If you're worried, you can join the Ashura 08 community.
"You should inquire with Tibus or Surak Transportation," he said. Recently, online communities have been circulating posts showing Rep. Lee sleeping soundly on the subway, leaning on the shoulder of a male passenger sitting next to her.
A photo was published. He was seen sleeping in a suit and sneakers, holding his bag in front of him. In the photo, Rep. Lee's head was completely leaned on the passenger next to him, who was slightly holding his shoulder.
It is said that Rep. Lee has been using public transportation and Seoul's public bicycle "Dtareungi" since his days as the leader of the People Power Party.
