From the NY Post:A Queens state Assembly candidate who publishes a Korean-language newspaper is profiting from ads for a prostitution ring on the paper’s back pages, The Post has learned.
Myungsuk Lee, 49, the owner of the Korean American Times, is one of several Democrats vying for an open seat in the newly created 40th District.
He trumpets his accomplishments on the paper’s front pages — while the back pages run ads for massage services that serve as covers for prostitution, sex workers said.
At least two of the racy ads soliciting workers lead back to the same building as Lee’s publishing and campaign offices at Prince Street and 35th Avenue in Flushing.
One ad says it would “prefer ladies who just arrived from Korea,” and another says, “Age is not required if look young.”
Women answering telephones at numbers posted on the ads offered callers hourlong massages for $50 and directed them to the building housing Lee’s offices.
A Post reporter who arrived was offered the full menu — an extra $40 above the massage price gets “hand satisfaction,” an extra $60 gets oral sex, and an additional $80 gets conventional sex.
In an interview with The Post at his office, Lee at first denied that the ads were even in his paper.
But when confronted with the evidence, he quickly admitted to it.
“I told my employee not to have this kind of advertisement. I’m strongly opposed [to] it,” he said.

Hopefully this will put a happy ending to his political career.

--------------------------------o He is either a liar or so oblivious that he can't manage to read his own paper or care who advertises in it.
Either way another winner for district 40!
These woman are just taking jobs that we lazy Americans don't want to do.
Its just another fine example of of the thriving, vibrant community that is Queens (don't note my sarcasm)
When will people running for office stop trying to lie their way out of trouble? If you get into a jam, remember the first rule of holes: "Stop digging!"
One could say something like, "it's an unfortunate reality that the largest advertisers in local media are establishments offering massage." People can understand an answer like that and might even see themselves saying the same thing (even if they don't actually condone it). That kind of lying is really contemptuous (or as the saying goes "I was born at night, not last night.")
the opposition dirty tricks used by thug political machines is stopping the candidates with honor and integrity from trying to represent the citizens.
America's survival with freedom,as we knew it, is doubtful.
