'Miracle man' to make presidential run in South Korea


JADED voters may think it'll take a miracle to change South Korea, but one potential presidential candidate says that's exactly what he can conjure up.

World peace is also on the cards if his fourth attempt to win office is successful, the 62-year-old Huh Kyung Young told Reuters. He claims to have an IQ of 430 and the ability to perform miracle cures.

"I can change 23 chromosomes and 40,000 DNA in the human body. If someone is diagnosed with uterine cancer, I can treat the cancer within 0.1 seconds just by looking into the patient's eyes," Huh said.

The head of the Democratic Republican Party, which is not represented in parliament, said he wants to move the United Nations headquarters from New York to Panmunjom, a village that sits on the world's most militarised border separating North and South Korea which remain technically at war.

"With the UN headquarters located in Korea, there would be no war on the Korean Peninsula. Then, I will unify the world and lead efforts to mediate between the global powers," he said.

Huh, who placed 7th in the 2007 election, was jailed in 2009 when the front-runner in this year's race, Park Geun-hye, sued him for defamation after he claimed she would marry him.

Huh plans to launch a fan club and said he expects to attract a million members.

"I am so popular that I get several phone calls every second from my fans. I am thinking of reporting myself to Guinness World Records as the man who receives the largest number of phone calls in the world," he said.
