He knew he didn't have much chance of winning, but he still risked his life to fight the chaebol.
Because, the South Korean chaebol forced his best friend in life - Roh Moo-hyun.
In 1953, a baby boy was born in a refugee shelter on Geoje Island, South Korea, and in the more than 50 years since then, he has been imprisoned twice and resigned three times.
He knew that his friend was forced by the Lee Myung-bak authorities to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff, but he could only hold back his indignation and said sadly: "Roh Moo-hyun jumped off the rock himself on the way to climb the mountain behind Fengxia Village. ”
Since then, he has been lying on salary for more than ten years, and once won *** just for his best friend to be able to avenge his grievances.
He is the former Moon Jae-in of South Korea.
So, how did he rise to power in South Korea, where the chaebol is in power?And how do you "take revenge" for your best friend?
[a].
In fact, before Roh Moo-hyun's death, Moon Jae-in was not a person who liked to show his head, Roh Moo-hyun asked him to run for parliament many times, but he refused, and it was not until after Roh Moo-hyun's death that he officially stepped into this dirty **.
And Roh Moo-hyun is a tragic fighter who dares to play with the chaebol.
Roh Moo-hyun is the 16th president of South Korea, and the South Korean people evaluate him as upright, open-minded, and selfless.
In a "semi-colonial" country like South Korea, which is controlled by the chaebols, being able to get such a high evaluation proves that he is indeed a good person loved by the people. However, since it is liked by the people, it must stand on the opposite side of the chaebol family.
Roh Moo-hyun has been in office for 5 years, and he has also fought with the South Korean chaebol for 5 years, constantly launching fierce attacks on the South Korean chaebol, such as:
Trying to vigorously crack down on the speculation of the chaebols in the real estate market through tax measures;Set off a "storm of clean government", pointing the sword at the chaebol group and their "spokesmen", 8 congressmen in the parliament who wore the same pants as the chaebol were arrested and imprisoned.
Roh Moo-hyun's style of acting has completely angered the South Korean chaebol.
Although Roh Moo-hyun left Seoul after leaving office and no longer intervened in politics, the chaebol did not intend to let him go and supported the "puppet **" Lee Myung-bak to take office, and the first thing Lee Myung-bak did when he took office was to liquidate Roh Moo-hyun.
Lee Myung-bak tried to make Roh Moo-hyun screw in the name of corruption, but Roh Moo-hyun was clean and selfless when he took office, and the chaebols couldn't catch him at allSo he started from the people around him, and the scandal of his relatives and subordinates was investigated little by little.
At the same time, Lee Myung-bak launched a large-scale **offensive, with the help of **, chasing the wind and shadows, framing Roh Moo-hyun, and inciting the South Korean people to criticize him, and Roh Moo-hyun was also involved in the "** turmoil."
On May 23, 2009, Roh Moo-hyun, who had been clear all his life, could no longer endure the mental torture and committed suicide by jumping off a cliff, leaving a suicide note:
"I didn't break the law, I don't need to apologize, and I don't want to blame anyone, I can only say that it's all fate. ”
Upon learning of Roh Moo-hyun's suicide, Moon Jae-in immediately went to Roh Moo-hyun's home and saw that his former best friend was now lying quietly in a coffin.
In fact, before Roh Moo-hyun's death, Moon Jae-in was not a person who liked to show his head, Roh Moo-hyun asked him to run for parliament many times, but he refused, and it was not until after Roh Moo-hyun's death that he officially stepped into this dirty **.
And the first person he wants to take revenge on is the "chief minion" of the chaebol - Lee Myung-bak.
[two].
In 2017, Moon Jae-in won ***
In December of the same year, Moon Jae-in pushed the prosecutorial department to set up a special investigation team to investigate the case of "Lee Myung-bak suspected of setting up secrets", and the prosecution and investigation agency listed as many as 207 pages of crimes, involving more than 10 crimes such as abuse of power.
The evidence is conclusive, and Lee Myung-bak is in danger.
On March 22, 2018, Moon Jae-in approved the arrest of Lee Myung-bak and subjected him to a high-pressure interrogation that lasted for 21 hours.
But Lee resisted the interrogation, and in the face of the evidence, Lee initially pleaded not guilty, trying to bite back, slamming the prosecution's investigation as "political revenge for Roh Moo-hyun's death."
These words reached Moon Jae-in's ears, and Moon Jae-in was furious, and forcibly suppressed the thoughts in his heart about Roh Moo-hyun, a confidant, and he personally replied to Lee Myung-bak:"Lee Myung-bak made irresponsible remarks about Roh Moo-hyun's death as political revenge, and I was really outraged. ”
Moon Jae-in's arrest of Lee Myung-bak is, to put it mildly, to avenge his best friend, quite a chivalrous style of revenge;To put it more broadly, when Lee Myung-bak was in power, he colluded with the chaebol clique and poisoned the people, which is really annoying and hateful.
In every respect, Moon Jae-in is in charge.
But if Lee Myung-bak is just locked up in prison, how can he alleviate the humiliation suffered by Roh Moo-hyun?It is reported that during his detention, Moon Jae-in specially arranged a "single room" for Lee Myung-bak, which is located on the top floor and is very airtight, cold in winter and hot in summer.
Under Moon's special "care", Lee Myung-bak's health deteriorated and he was released on medical parole several times. In the subsequent twice-weekly court trials, Lee Myung-bak walked to the courtroom step by step with his fists clenched against the wall.
On September 6, prosecutors asked the court to sentence Lee Myung-bak to 20 years in prison and a fine of 15 billion won. In the end, Lee Myung-bak was sentenced to 17 years in prison and fined 13 billion won.
Although he was pardoned at the end of 2022, most of the benefits he enjoyed were denied.
At Roh Moo-hyun's funeral, Moon Jae-in endured humiliation and bowed to Lee Myung-bak, which can be regarded as a return.
[three].
South Korea's chaebol is in charge, a Lee Myung-bak is just a small shrimp under the chaebol, and Moon Jae-in's rectification of him is just an appetizer, and Moon Jae-in will officially launch a "decisive battle" against the South Korean chaebol and punish the rich second generation of many chaebol families in accordance with the law.
Among them is the only son of Lee Kun-hee, the head of Samsung Group, Lee Jae-yong.
Samsung Group controls the lifeblood of South Korea's economy, involving technology, insurance, wool textiles, media, home appliances and other industries, and some people say that South Koreans cannot avoid three things in their lives: taxes, death and Samsung. It can be seen how huge Samsung's influence in South Korea is.
And Lee Jae-yong, as the ** person of Samsung Group, is not an exaggeration to say that he is the "emperor" of South Korea, but he is such a rich and powerful person, but he was once sent to prison by Moon Jae-in.
Moon Jae-in's move can be said to be a knock on the mountain, which is a competition between a "lone hero" and a chaebol.
In 2018, Lee Jae-yong was sentenced to two years and six months in prison, suspended for four years, on suspicion of bribing former South Korean ** Park Geun-hye and her close confidant Choi Soon. Lee Jae-yong, as the only son of South Korea's largest chaebol, probably never dreamed that he would be imprisoned in this life.
But Moon's real goal is not to bring down Mr. Lee.
Let's not mention the huge power behind Lee Jae-yong, Moon Jae-in, as a "grassroots **" with no background, even if he overthrows Lee Jae-yong, the best result is that both sides will lose, and there will be "Wang Jae-yong" and "Cho Jae-yong" in the future.
He wants Samsung to make "concessions" and invest more in South Korea, provide more jobs for young people, solve the problem of youth employment, and alleviate the economic pressure on the people at the bottom.
It is even more important to let the chaebol understand a truth, wealth cannot override the law after all.

Moon Jae-in then targeted the culprits of South Korea, which was manipulated by the chaebols, and made Roh Moo-hyun "ruined".
On January 29, 2019, in a paragraph**, the security guard of the nightclub "Burning Sun", of which Li Shengli was the director, violently beat a male customer, and the cause of the incident was that both parties insisted on their own words. The man was accused of harassing a female customerThe man claimed to have acted as a righteous and courageous man to save a woman who had been sexually harassed.
Originally, this was just an ordinary fight and brawl, and it was impossible to alarm **, but Roh Moo-hyun was caught in the whirlpool of rumors, South Korea ** "contributed a lot", Moon Jae-in was worried that there was no reason to "take revenge", and the "Victory Gate" incident gave Moon Jae-in a chance to wield a knife.
On March 18, under the instruction of Moon Jae-in, South Korea** and the prosecution took a two-pronged approach to conduct a thorough investigation of the "Victory Gate" incident and the suicide of South Korean actress Zhang Ziyan in 2009, and then expanded the scope of the investigation to the entire entertainment industry.
This is tantamount to a big ** for South Korea and the entertainment industry.
The truth soon surfaced, Li Shengli was suspected of providing erotic reception to foreign investors, Zheng Junying was suspected of having sex with multiple women, and more than 10 women were victimized, causing public outrage.
According to Zhang Ziyan's suicide note, from 2005 to 2009, the brokerage company forced her to "sleep with" 31 men such as large enterprises and news executives hundreds of times, and finally hanged himself to death.
Moon Jae-in punished those who violated the law and committed crimes in accordance with the law.
** is the mouthpiece of South Korea's chaebol, and the entertainment industry is its "money bag", Moon Jae-in cut off his right-hand man in one fell swoop, which is very happy.
[Summary].
In May 2022, Moon Jae-in officially stepped down from South Korea, and just like Roh Moo-hyun's choice back then, he left the Blue House and returned to the village where he was born and raised, living a semi-secluded life.
Now that he has stepped down from office for a year and a half, he has a pension of 14 million won per month, and South Korea has 65 guards to protect his safety.
But can Moon Jae-in really escape the "Blue House curse"?
There is a saying circulating on the Internet that the three most dangerous things in the world are: drug enforcement in Mexico, tax evasion in the United States, and being a ** in South Korea. Looking at South Korea**, the vast majority of them did not die well.
Roh Moo-hyun jumped off a cliff and died, Lee Myung-bak was over eighty years old and serving a prison sentence, Park Geun-hye was notorious for the "girlfriends" incident and was forced to **, South Korean prosecutors investigated and punished him for *** and went to prison, and now, Moon Jae-in's former right-hand man has been liquidated.
South Korea's incumbent ** Yoon Suk-yeol and Moon Jae-in have long had deep grievances because of their incompatible ideas, and Yoon Suk-yeol said that he would liquidate Moon Jae-in during the election campaign, completely not hiding his intention to "politically retaliate" against Moon Jae-in.
So, will Moon Jae-in be able to enjoy his old age in peace?Will the South Korean chaebols who hate him so easily let him go?
None of this is known, but Moon Jae-in has left a seed in the hearts of the South Korean people, and the chaebol is only a chaebol after all, and once the South Korean people are oppressed to the point where there is no way out, they will inevitably launch a protest.
