Diary- Former Korean President

Wednesday, May 27, 2009

Emotions ran high last Saturday, May 23, when news of the former South Korean President's suicide spread throughout the country. Former President Roh was described as the working man's leader and often made it his mission to give a voice to the poor. Most recently, however, President Roh had been caught up in a political scandal filled with bribery and corruption. Just before his death, President Roh apologized to the citizens of Korea for his connections in the scandal, saying he felt "ashamed and sorry." Although there are mixed emotions and opinions about the innocence of President Roh, it is obvious that he was loved by many.

I was very sad because Korean President was dead.
He was 16th president. I like him.
Because he was poor farmer's son
but he succeeded in life.
However, he killed himself.
I didn't know the reason
I hope he goes heaven.  :(
