Let me save the people!

In a weird turn of events, political leaders pretend to be "the savior of the people" despite a lack of their credentials.

After the governing People Power Party (PPP) compared its interim leader Han Dong-hoon to Admiral Yi Sun-sin — the legendry commander who won the absolute victory against Japanese naval forces in the 16th century — in an uphill battle against the majority Democratic Party (DP) in the upcoming parliamentary elections, DP leader Lee Jae-myung is embarrassed. Additionally, after former DP leader Lee Nak-yon on New Year’s Day paid his respects to General Kwon Yul — another legendary commander during the Japanese invasion — to gain support from voters for his own party to save the people from their tough livelihoods, his rival Lee Jun-seok, the former PPP leader, is frustrated.
