Independent presidential candidate Kim So-yeon speaks from behind a police cordon outside Samsung’s headquarters in Seoul’s Yeoksam neighborhood on Dec. 5. Kim is a former organizer of temporary workers and a symbol of irregular workers in Korea. On this day, she appeared with supporters and families of Samsung workers who contracted leukemia while working in semiconductor factories.
