It is not an exaggeration to say that the president of South Korea is a high-risk profession, and almost all the people who have held this position have no good end, some have been exiled, some have been imprisoned, and some have died... In short, it is not a good ending. And the newly outgoing Moon Jae-in and the newly appointed Yoon Seok-yue do not seem to be exceptions, and their current situation is also very bad.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, South Korea has gone through 20 governments and 13 presidents. From the exile of the first president, Lee Seung-sung, to the imprisonment of the 11th president, Park Geun-hye, none of the 11 South Korean presidents have survived. To put it bluntly, the chair of the President of South Korea is like a spell, and whoever sits on it is unlucky.
Since the Blue House used to be the residence of the President of South Korea, there is a saying of "blue house curse", in order to break the spell, Yoon Seok Yue did not live for a day after coming to power, and immediately moved out of the Blue House and moved the mansion to the Yongsan National Defense Building. However, moving away from the Blue House is easy, but it is difficult to break the "fate of the President of South Korea". Less than 4 months after Yoon Seok-yue came to power, the "Curse of the President of South Korea" has begun to slowly appear on him.
According to South Korean media, a few days ago, South Korea's Common Democratic Party filed a lawsuit against Yoon Seok-yue on the grounds that during the presidential campaign, Yoon Seok-yue was suspected of publishing false news, such as lying about his wife Kim Jian-hee's suspected manipulation of stock prices. Most people know Kim Jian-hee, probably from the time she frequently caused various troubles for Yoon Seok-wook during this year's South Korean presidential campaign. Incidents such as resume fraud and "7-hour recording" have rushed to the Hot Search in South Korea. It is precisely because of the repeated outbreaks of scandals that many melon-eating masses speculate that she may change from the first lady of South Korea to the first person of the "pit man"? Unexpectedly, the Common Democratic Party really seized this opportunity and wanted to take advantage of this to bring down Yin Xiyue.
In fact, Yin Xiyue has been in constant scandal since he came to power. Previously exposed acts such as appointing relatives of oneself and bringing close friends who are not public officials to visit foreign countries have been criticized for suspected "abuse of power", causing many dissatisfactions. One point that needs to be mentioned here is that Park Geun-hye, who was personally sent to prison by Yoon Seok-yue, included the crime of "abuse of power" in the first prison. Therefore, if the Common Democratic Party has evidence of Yoon Seok-yue's "abuse of power", then the door of the South Korean prison may also be opened for Yoon Seok-yue.
The South Korean president did not end well, this is really not a joke, but what really happened in South Korea. Of The 13 presidents of South Korea, only Yoon Seok-woo and Moon Jae-in are left. Although Moon was not brought down during his reign, it was difficult for him to complete this life without incident as president of South Korea. If you are not brought down while in power, you will also be liquidated after stepping down, which has always been a tradition in South Korea.
Look at Lee Myung-bak, after stepping down for many years, he did not escape the disaster of prison, or was sent in by Yin Xiyue. Now at the age of 80, he is still eating prison food. In 2020, Lee Myung-bak was sentenced to 17 years on charges of embezzlement and bribery. Although he was suspended for three months in prison for illness in June this year, his name is not included in the pardon list released by Yoon Seok Yue's government on "Guangfu Day" this year. In other words, if there are no accidents, Lee Myung-bak will only spend the rest of his life in prison.
The first 11 can't escape the "curse of the President of South Korea", how easy is it for Moon Jae-in to break this "curse"? In fact, on the first day of his resignation, this "spell" had already appeared. According to South Korean media reports at the time, on the same day, more than 2,000 South Korean citizens reported Moon Jae-in's "abuse of power" and asked the procuratorate to investigate the nuclear power policy implemented during his administration, believing that he "abused his power" to shut down unit 1 of the nuclear power plant, which increased the burden on the people.
At the same time, since Yoon Seok-wook's government came to power, the investigation into Moon's government has not stopped. With the title of "prosecutor with an iron fist" and the "rich" experience of sending two previous presidents, Park Geun-hye and Lee Myung-bak, it is not impossible for Moon Jae-in to become his third president.
However, while "liquidating" Moon Jae-in, Yin Xiyue himself faces the possibility of being brought down and sent to prison. Judging from the current situation, it is really not certain who he and Moon Jae-in will be sent to prison first. Although it is not known who Yoon Seok-wook and Moon Jae-in will be the next to fall into the "Korean presidential curse", it should be noted that South Korea's partisan competition has always been like this, and this unique "tradition" will not change one day, and South Korea will always stage the plot of the "presidential curse", and no president will want to retreat.
