Politicians typically are THE most loved when they’re dead.
That’s not a threat.

Something about no longer wielding power makes them more lovable. And obituaries typically omit the bad stuff.

Which brings us to Lee Hong-koo, South Korea’s former prime minister, who held office when the Sampoong Department Store collapsed, a case we covered.

His legacy spans decades. But now, netizens speculate that his grandson could become better known than him.

They believe Winston Lee, one of the accused in the Cornell 7 case, is his grandson. That connection remains unconfirmed. But if true, Lee comes from one of South Korea’s most prominent families.

And he’s lawyered up. His lawyers want New York’s Attorney General off the case.

This is the final part of the Cornell 7 case.

Senior Night at a high school football game is a very big deal. It’s kind of like the Oscars and a State of the Union coming together for one night. There are tears, balloon arches, and slow-motion football videos, with a coach trying his best to sound like Morgan Freeman.

But at Timberline High School in Boise, Idaho, the spotlight has shifted from football to protests, police involvement, and student walkouts. Homecoming festivities, including the game, were canceled after a Snapchat group chat allegedly involving football players went viral.

The messages allegedly discussed how they were going to r*pe and kill a female student. “Let’s make her life hell.” “Hell yeah.”
Then came a chilling reference: “You think Cornell was bad? Just wait for us.”

This is part 2 of the Cornell 7 case.

There aren’t many reasons why a pedestrian gets hit by a car ends up being at fault. But at Cornell, a student whose foot was allegedly run over by university president Michael Kotlikoff’s car was banned from campus for a year.

A few months later, Cornell faces another scandal. Jane Doe files a civil lawsuit against the university and seven fraternity brothers, alleging she was gang raped for seven hours. Her dream university becomes a nightmare, while some of the accused allegedly receive punishments like workshops and essays.

Now, Snapchats, text messages and recorded phone calls are emerging. One accused says he was assaulted by Jane Doe, not the other way around. Some people have already picked sides. But like most cases, maybe it’s not so simple.

This is the case of the Cornell 7.
