South Korea's former Park Geun-hye's lawyer Yoo Young-ha announced his candidacy for mayor of Daegu, which attracted the attention of South Korea. He was Ms. Park's most trusted person, having helped her many campaigns and was her only visitor during her time in prison. The city of Daegu, where he campaigned, is Ms. Park's political hometown and a stronghold of conservatives.
People from all walks of life in South Korea speculated that his move was to prepare for Park Geun-hye's return to the **, because after Park Geun-hye was released from prison, on the one hand, she published a book to clarify the "political interference case", and on the other hand, she was supported by many supporters. And the newly elected conservative Yoon Suk-yeol has also expressed friendship with Park Geun-hye and may need her support.
Although Yoon Suk-yeol was elected **, he was not popular with the people. As soon as he came to power, he planned to move the ** government from the Blue House to the Ministry of National Defense building, which aroused a lot of doubts and opposition. Some believe that he was because of the superstition of "Feng Shui", others believe that he was trying to distance himself from his ex. He once met with the Japanese ambassador to South Korea and promised to improve relations between the two countries, but he was annoyed that Japan subsequently revised its history textbooks and denied South Korea's "labor" and "sovereignty over Dokdo."
And Moon Jae-in, who is about to step down, does not have a peaceful retirement life. He plans to return to his retirement villa in Yangsan City, which is very close to the grave of his friend and former ** Roh Moo-hyun. But his wife Kim Jung-sook was revealed to have worn a lot of clothing and jewelry in public, spending hundreds of millions of won. The Blue House claims that Kim Jong-sook paid for it herself, but some have questioned that Moon's annual salary is simply not enough for these expenses. Moon Jae-in also sold his old house to avoid suspicion of corruption, but his wife became the target of public criticism. His retirement journey may not be smooth.
