The support of the people is the cornerstone of my happiness, and I will always be grateful and keep this happiness. ”
On May 10, Moon Jae-in ended his five-year career and began his retirement. As the first progressive in South Korea, his reform measures were far-reaching. However, what makes people even more amazing is that he became the first ex** in Korean history to retire safely.
Moon Jae-in: South Koreans who broke the "Blue House curse" Moon Jae-in, a man who once tried to be "forgotten", has become a veritable Korean hero because of his dedication and unremitting efforts to the Blue House.
His success was not accidental, but stemmed from his family background as a North Korean immigrant and his experience as a teacher in his youth. During his career, he once served as the secretary of the government in a powerful position, and became acquainted with the former Roh Moo-hyun.
All of this laid a solid foundation for his success at the Blue House.
After leaving the Blue House in 2008, Mr. Moon opted for a life of seclusion, expressing his desire to become a forgotten man after leaving office.
His idea reminds us of Roh Moo-hyun, the first former in South Korean history to choose to live in seclusion in the countryside after leaving office. Compared with those mansion lives that are frequently paid attention to, Moon Jae-in and Roh Moo-hyun both hope to be able to stay away from strife and return to ordinary life after retirement.
His retirement plan apparently won a large amount of public approval. Under his rule, some doubts and grievances are gradually dissipating. The public seems to have come to understand and embrace the lifestyle that Moon is pursuing.
Moon's choice to retreat has given people a deeper understanding of his character. As the leader of the country, he was not deceived by power and wealth, and he did not indulge in his former honors after leaving office, and this spirit of indifference to fame and fortune is admirable.
Although Moon Jae-in has chosen to live in seclusion, according to South Korean history, life after leaving office is often difficult to avoid controversy. The renovation and location of the predecessor's residence have been discussed.
Therefore, it remains to be seen whether Moon Jae-in will be able to avoid the cusp of controversy after retirement.
After Moon Jae-in leaves office, he will receive a pension of more than 70,000 yuan per month, totaling about 9.5 million yuan.
While there has been controversy over pensions in South Korea during Moon's tenure, the more striking issue is the slowdown in economic growth and high housing prices, which have left many young people unable to afford to buy a home.
As a result, some South Koreans have questioned Moon's responsibility in this regard, and they are strongly unhappy that Moon Jae-in is not doing well and is able to receive a huge pension.
In the face of outside criticism, Moon Jae-in chose to leave Seoul in a low-key manner and return to his hometown to buy a large mansion. Although his behavior seems to be low-key, a 300-square-meter house with a monthly income of 80,000 yuan is indeed too extravagant for ordinary people.
It is worth mentioning that according to South Korean law, as long as you are a normal resignee, you can enjoy pension benefits, such as Moon Jae-in.
In the history of South Korea, in addition to Moon Jae-in, several other ** such as Chun Doo-hwan, Roh Tae-woo, Lee Myung-bak, and Park Geun-hye have not enjoyed the treatment of receiving pensions. As a result, Moon has the potential to become the first former in South Korea's history to actually enjoy a pension.
Retired South Korea** not only receives a pension, but also benefits such as reimbursement of office operating expenses and free private medical care, making Moon's retirement more comfortable.
The security benefits are luxurious, with 65 guards on the trip, two special cars on the road, and six bodyguard cars and two equipment cars behind them, which is a spectacular scene that has never been seen in the history of South Korea.
For a retired old man, dozens of police officers seem a bit excessive. ** Explain that this is due to the reform of the police system, but the public has questioned this.
In the United States, as a rule, there are only 6 bodyguards in the first **, and even in special times, the police force will not exceed a dozen. Therefore, Moon Jae-in's security configuration can be said to have reached the highest level of specifications. "
Heavy money to defend Moon Jae-in: The cost of police manpower is in the hundreds of millions, exacerbating popular discontent.
Park Geun-hye stands in stark contrast to Moon Jae-in, who, in addition to having a team of guards similar to Nezha's, also enjoys retirement privileges, including free medical care and subsidies.
These privileges allowed him to successfully lead a "super retirement" life, becoming the luckiest former ** in Korean history.
After his retirement, Moon Jae-in enjoyed the country's preferential treatment, and his daily life was very comfortable, without having to run for a living, and he lived a luxurious life that was the envy of ordinary people.
According to the public**, it does not seem very appropriate to use so many public resources to protect the safety of a retired elderly person. Considering that Moon's residence is located in a rural area and the cost of living is relatively low, it seems unlikely that such a large police presence will be used to protect him.
Moon's retirement has been hotly debated, but he has enjoyed a rare retirement glory compared to his predecessors such as Park Geun-hye. Although he worked in the fields, he lived a life of luxury, and this enjoyment was a rare peace for him.
