SEOUL/HANOI (Korea Herald/ANN): Lee Hae-chan, a towering figure in South Korea’s liberal politics who rose from a jailed democracy activist to a dominant prime minister, master election strategist and seven-term lawmaker, died Sunday. He was 73.
Across successive Democratic Party administrations — from Kim Dae-jung and Roh Moo-hyun to Moon Jae-in and Lee Jae Myung — Lee played a pivotal role as a strategist, organizer and unifying force within the liberal camp.
