This wouldn't happen if South Korea would make lobbying legal. Than the chaebols wouldn't have to create slush funds for their political interests. Also this scandal is politically driven by the ruling party. I'm hoping the conservative party wins the upcoming election. Many than the government would consider actually fixing the economy and helping the younger generation get jobs.
This is what happens when lobbying is made illegal. Lobby allows influence to be out in the open and subject to scrutiny. Making it illegal creates a breeding ground for corruption.

That's funny. Institutionalized corruption is still corruption.
