Meanwhile, the prosecution on Monday sought a three-year sentence for the main opposition Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung for allegedly suborning a former mayoral secretary to provide a false testimony in a 2018 election law violation case involving him.
At the final hearing of Lee's trial at the Seoul Central District Court, the prosecution said that Lee disrupted the judicial order by encouraging a false testimony to conceal his lies.
However, Lee denied the allegations and accused the prosecution of manipulating charges and evidence against him.
The result of the trial will come out on November 25th.
If Lee is sentenced to prison or given a more severe penalty, he may lose his seat in the National Assembly and be banned from running in elections while the sentence is in effect.

![[Politics & Diplomacy] What Japans new prime minister means for Seoul-Tokyo relations](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/n8CN3xgywSU/hqdefault.jpg "[Politics & Diplomacy] What Japans new prime minister means for Seoul-Tokyo relations
日 ‘온건파’ 총리 시대… 이후 한일관계는?
Japans new prime minister Shigeru Ishiba has officially taken office ahead of another major leadership change coming up in the U.S.
This week, we delve into what this means for relations between South Korea and Japan, as well as geopolitics beyond this region.
Our foreign affairs correspondent Bae Eun-ji joins me here in the studio.
Welcome, Eun-ji.
Thanks for having me.
1. So Eun-ji, some raise hopes that the new leadership in Japan could help resolve historical disputes between Seoul and Tokyo.
Whats your take on this? Tell us about the possible changes in bilateral relations.
Sure.
Shigeru Ishiba is the countrys former defense minister and a veteran lawmaker, but hes seen as somewhat of a party outsider.
The 67-year-olds victory raised hopes in South Korea, as hes considered rather dovish when it comes to relations with Seoul.
In fact, promising political reform, Ishiba pledged last week that his cabinet will maintain strong partnerships with friendly nations, including South Korea.
Lets take a listen.
We would like to further strengthen the network of allies and countries, such as Japan with the U.S. and South Korea, the Japan-U.S. agreement, and Japan-U.S. and the Philippines.”
Ishiba has expressed relatively moderate views on historical issues, unlike the right-wing group of Japanese politicians who dismiss Japans wartime atrocities in the 20th Century.
Back in 2017, in an interview with South Korean media, he even said Tokyo should continue to apologize for the wartime sex slavery, until Seoul accepts those apologies.
Hes also expressed somewhat negative views about visiting the Yasukuni Shrine, a symbol of Japans militarism, that often becomes a source of diplomatic tensions with Korea.
But, experts say that although he will focus on improving relations with Seoul, a sudden breakthrough in historical disputes is highly unlikely.
This is because Ishiba is unlikely to deviate from former prime minister Fumio Kishdas policies, given his lack of support within the ruling party and his low approval rating.
Ishiba will likely keep nearly everything from the Kishida administration. Kishida emphasized the relations between Korea and Japan and the importance of the relationship with the United States. Given this, I think Ishiba will continue to maintain the positive momentum to improve relations with Seoul. But, as for how he will address historical issues, that might not meet our expectations, so we shouldnt raise our hopes too high.
2. Eyes are now on a possible first summit between President Yoon and Prime Minister Ishiba this week when they both visit Laos to take part in the ASEAN Summit.
Thats right.
The two leaders have already spoken over the phone, doing so last week not long after Ishiba took office, after he had his first phone call with U.S. President Joe Biden.
They agreed that a united response is needed to counter North Korean threats while promising to meet soon.
Now, if they are to meet this week on the sidelines of the ASEAN Summit like you said, theyll likely discuss ways to continue improving bilateral relations, especially as the two countries mark the 60th anniversary of normalizing diplomatic relations next year.
As an expert in the defense field, he may also seek stronger security cooperation across the region.
Ishiba is someone who has a personal sense of political philosophy. Hes someone who will prioritize Japans national interests. While he may be relatively weaker in domestic or economic policy, he will likely focus on achieving significant accomplishments in the security field, where he is confident.
3. Speaking of security, Ishibas proposal of an Asian version of NATO during his campaign surprised many.
Thats right.
But the idea is widely seen as unrealistic for the time being.
In a paper to an American think tank in September, Ishiba had argued for locking Washington into an Asian NATO, as a way to deter China.
The plan has already been dismissed by a senior U.S. official as hasty, and its unclear whether it will find strong support in Southeast Asia.
The Ishiba administration also appears to have acknowledged this issue, with the new foreign minister saying its not part of an immediate plan...
