The JoongAng Ilbo usually has the quirkiest human interest stories. This one is a doozy.
Nutty Politician Vows to Take Blue House
Huh Kyung-young, who claims he has an IQ of 430, supernatural powers and is perfectly sane, ran in the presidential election last month, his third unsuccessful bid to get into the Blue House.
His wild campaign pledges included granting 100 million won ($107,296) to every couple getting married, 30 million for couples having a baby and a 600,000 won monthly pension to everyone over 60 ― justification being that they founded the country.
Unsurprisingly, Huh didn�t win the election, but the 58-year-old candidate did get almost 100,000 votes, signaling the birth of the �Huh Kyung-young syndrome.�

This is a little late, don't you think?
I would've voted for him last election, and I hope he runs next time. He made more sense than all the other candidates. |

| This guy is one nut job, to bad he did not win. It would have been a blast to see him run for president. But my IQ is 500 I took the test 5 times and scored 100 each time. So that means I'm super duper smart. |

But don't you have something against Pak Chung-hee and his daughter, Geun-hye?

On the walls were giant portraits of the late President Park Chung Hee and a photograph of Huh sitting with Park Geun-hye, Park�s daughter. Behind where Huh sat was a massive picture of the Blue House.
Huh claims he spent 10 years when he was in his 20s as a �special policy-making secretary� for President Park.
...
Another oddball campaign pledge was to marry Park Geun-hye, who was defeated by the President-elect Lee Myung-bak in the Grand National Party primary.
In response, Park filed a defamation suit.
Asked why he remains single, Huh said, �Well, I was busy, sort of.� Then he added, �Also, I�ve kept Ms. Park Geun-hye in mind for a long time.� |
Koreans themselves don't take him seriously.

| The Huh syndrome made a lot of people laugh during and after the election, light relief from party politics and bickering candidates. Many entertainers like the comedian Kim Gu-ra courted Huh, asking him to become an entertainer, not a politician. |
He's basically a one-man Rhino Party. |

I think that maybe all she needs is a man to dominate her, and Huh could be that man. |
