Park Chung Hee (1962-1979) - as*a**inated 4. Choi Kyu-hah (1979 - 1980) - overthrown by a military coup. 5. Chun Doo-hwan (1981-1988) - sentenced to d**th after serving his presidential term. 6. Roh Tae-woo (1988-1993) - sentenced to 22 years in prison after serving his presidential term. 7. Kim Young-sam (1993-1998) - imprisoned before his presidential term. As president, he secured the conviction of his two predecessors. 8. Kim Dae-jung (1998-2003) - Was imprisoned and sentenced to d**th before becoming president (later pardoned). Nobel Peace Prize laureate. 9. Roh Moo-hyun (2003-2008) - Impeached (overturned by the Constitutional Court). Under investigation for corruption after serving as president. Committed suic**e 10. Lee Myung-bak (2008-2013) - Arrested and currently under arrest for corruption after serving as president. 11. Park Geun-hye (2013-2016) - Impeached. Arrested for corruption. 24 years in prison.

Not saying they don't abuse their power nowadays. You're talking about a country where people used to starve so bad they ate dirt. So I can see why they'd be scared to even think of harming their former saviors.

[@hitthegroundjay85]

That was just sensationalism. There are a lot of spies with Chinese-North Korean ties in South Korea these days. Not long ago, North Korean spies were convicted. Meanwhile, there seems to be a connection between the spread of this kind of video in the United States. You should know that South Korea is on the front lines against communist forces. Russia invaded Ukraine and China ate Hong Kong. Hong Kong was replaced from within with pro-Beijing politicians and has since been absorbed by China. Now, South Korea's leftist politicians have been dominated by the pro-Beijing party since Moon Jae-in and have a huge opposition party. Not only leftist, also in right-wing. That's why President Yoon Seok-yul turned a blind eye by declaring martial law and tried to catch evidence of fraudulent elections. Today, South Korea has a big opposition party, and there are many stupid people who reject capitalism and want socialism. The end of socialism is the same as North Korea. An unmotivated society will only lead to its own destruction. In South Korea, order is preserved by the Constitution, at least for now. The proof is that the corrupt are brought to justice. It's proof that Korea is an advanced country, and you should know that most countries in the world have corrupt politicians and the establishment who wield so much power that it makes Korean chaebols look nothing, and it's never mentioned even in their media, unlike S.Korea.
