This might not be the political happy ending he hoped for.
Queens Assembly candidate Myungsuk Lee, whose Korean-language newspaper runs ads from “massage parlors,” some of which also peddle prostitution, could be in some legal trouble.
Queens DA Richard Brown says he’s meeting with his vice squad “on this matter” after The Post yesterday exposed the ads and the massage parlors.
Offices for Lee’s newspaper, the Korean American Times, and his campaign are located in the same building where several of the massage parlors that advertise in his pages are based — and where a Post reporter was solicited for sex when he paid for a massage last week.
Meanwhile, the same businesses were still accepting clients for “massages” yesterday, The Post confirmed.
Lee didn’t return calls for comment and didn’t show up for work yesterday.
Lee, the former head of the Korean Chamber of Commerce and the Korean American Association of Queens, is looking to fill the seat left vacant by Assemblywoman Grace Meng.
