Reining in South Korea’s powerful chaebol (family-run conglomerates) has become a key issue in the presidential election, with even Park favoring tighter control over them, although it was her father’s regime that helped build them with generous government support.&#160;Her populist stance on the chaebol suggests that, if elected, she might similarly pander to nationalist sentiment by taking a tough stance against Japan, especially to play down her father’s service in Japan’s military while Korea was under Japanese colonial rule.
驾驭韩国权势财阀已成为总统选举的关键问题，就连朴槿惠也支持加紧控制财阀，尽管后者是在其父政权的慷慨政府支持的帮助下建立起来的。她在财阀问题上的民粹主义立场表明，当选后她可能会迎合民族主义情绪，对日本采取强硬立场，特别是要淡化其父在日本殖民统治时期为日军卖命的历史。
