It will be interesting to see how this trial turns out that begins on May 23rd with both former President Park and her alleged partner in corruption Choi Soon-sil standing trial together:
Choi Soon-sil
The charges mostly center on an extortion racket Park and Choi allegedly ran out of Cheong Wa Dae by using two dubious nonprofits Choi set up and staffed with her drinking buddies.
The trial proper starts on May 23 and will bring the two women together for the first time since their schemes started to unravel last autumn and Choi fled abroad. The court rejected a request by Choi to be tried separately.
Choi’s lawyer Lee Kyung-jae, in a typically florid submission, said his client feels “unbearable shame” at having to stand trial next to Park, whom she respected for many years. Lee added the prospect is tantamount to the pain of “gouging out her own eyes.” [Chosun Ilbo]
`Park has really hurt the South Korean people by allowing a weak minded liberal to take charge of the leadership of South Korea. Corruption seems to be common in Korean leadership. Money and power seems to be hard to handle in South Korea. Park’s weakness has made the leftist strong.

Seems to me that Park and Merkel are two opposites of Thatcher…
