Former President Park Geun-hye's first spy chief announced he will run for the presidency Friday as an independent candidate, vowing to root out what he calls "leftist followers of North Korea."
Nam Jae-joon, who served as the head of the National Intelligence Service from 2013 to 2014, will register his preliminary candidacy later in the day, his campaign team said in a statement.
