Editor's note
In 2017, the new year has dawned. Following the fierce competition between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump last year, the US presidential election, the Republic of Korea is facing a large issue of impeachment and the subsequent early presidential election. As it progresses suddenly, it is the situation of Ori Mu-jung (五里霧中) as to what direction the politics of the Republic of Korea will proceed in the future.
