South Korea’s presidential front-runner has said he is opposed to homosexuality.
Moon Jae-in, who is running as a liberal candidate in the May 9 election, shocked supporters with his statements during the live televised debate.
The former human rights lawyer, who has recently been pegged back in the polls by centrist rival Ahn Cheol-soo, was asked whether he opposed homosexuality, Associated Press has reported.
“I oppose,” Moon said.
When asked again, Moon said: “Of course.”
He also agreed with conservative candidate Hong Joon-pyo that the presence of gay soldiers was weakening the military.
