President Yoon Attends Memorial for Former President Park Chung-hee

Considering President Yoon’s very low approval rating, being seen with the ousted former President Park Guen-hye probably won’t help:

President Yoon Suk Yeol on Thursday praised late President Park Chung-hee as he met with Park’s daughter at a memorial ceremony, a symbolic gesture amid calls for more unity among conservatives ahead of next year’s general elections.

It marked the first time that a sitting president attended the memorial ceremony for Park Chung-hee, whose legacy remains a subject of controversy in South Korea.

Yoon said that former President Park is recorded as promoting industrialization and rallying the nation under the slogan “it can be done.”

“He achieved a historic global accomplishment known as the miracle on the Han River,” Yoon said in his address at the ceremony at Seoul National Cemetery in southern Seoul, referring to South Korea’s economic rise from the ashes of the 1950-53 Korean War.

True.

It was Yoon who led the prosecution team in investigating and jailing Park.

But the dumb uneducated Setnaffarians and GI Korea don’t want to accept the fact that their beloved Yoon led a campaign against their beloved Park.

That will make Yoon an opportunist who is interested in himself, not the leader that the Setnaffarians believe he is.
