Those charges still cast a long shadow over Lee, and could yet threaten his years-long pursuit of the top job. But they are also just the latest in a string of controversies that have dogged him throughout his political career.A rags-to-riches origin story combined with a bullish political style has made Lee into a divisive figure in South Korea.

"Lee Jae-myung's life has been full of ups and downs, and he often takes actions that stir controversy," Dr Lee Jun-han, professor of political science and international studies at Incheon National University, tells the BBC.These actions typically include attempts at progressive reform – such as a pledge, made during his 2022 presidential campaign, to implement universal basic income scheme – which challenge the existing power structure and status quo in South Korea."Because of this, some people strongly support him, while others distrust or dislike him," Dr Lee says. "He is a highly controversial and unconventional figure – very much an outsider who has made a name for himself in a way that doesn't fit traditional Democratic Party norms."

In a recent memoir, Lee described his childhood as "miserable". Born in 1963 in a mountain village in Andong, Gyeongbuk Province, he was the fifth of five sons and two daughters, and - due to his family's difficult circumstances - skipped middle school to illegally enter the workforce.As a young factory worker, Lee suffered an industrial accident where his fingers got caught in a factory power belt, and at the age of 13 suffered a permanent injury to his arm after his wrist was crushed by a press machine.

Lee later applied for and was allowed to sit entrance exams for high school and university, passing in 1978 and 1980 respectively. He went on to study law with a full scholarship, and passed the Bar Examination in 1986.

In 1992, he married his wife Kim Hye-kyung, with whom he has two children."This persecution is a direct assault on press freedom and human rights. It must end now."

The broadcaster said it was preparing a fresh complaint to the UN.The UN's secretary general and its special rapporteurs have previously raised concerns about Iran's treatment of BBC staff and warned that harassment, surveillance and death threats violated international human rights law.
