He currently works as a professor at Chung-Ang University. He is a well-known conservative pundit for expressing criticisms towards the Lee Myung-bak government. He received criticisms from a group of pro-Lee Myung-bak lawmakers for participating in the restructure of the Saenuri Party (formally Grand National Party) in the past due to his distance with Lee Myung-bak.
On Lee Myung-bak
He is critical against the real estate cover-ups made by the South Korean President, Lee Myung-bak, in Naegok-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul.
He had expressed concerns through his blog how Lee Myung-bak"s political associates could potentially drag down the Lee Myung-bak government and his affiliated Saenuri Party (then Grand National Party) after the next presidential election due to Lee"s extensive history of political corruptions. He once said in 2010 that Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye should have separated on their own way because "Lee Myung-bak"s leadership heads itself to a potential Watergate scandal-like incident".
This incident refers to the South Korean illegal surveillance incident. Lee Myung-bak has been politically isolated from the ruling Saenuri Party as Chairperson Hong June-pyo, resigned.
On the Supreme Prosecutors" Office
He proposed an extensive restructure of the Supreme Prosecutors" Office of the Republic of of Korea as the organization itself covers up the corruptions generated by officials in the Lee Myung-bak government.
On April 4, 2012, Lee abruptly left a live political debate program shown in tvN Asia that generated controversies.
He is currently the political reformer for the Saenuri Party under Park Geun-hye. In 17 feburar 2016, he participated in the party of people (which Ahn chul su created) as the Chairman of preparing vote.
