Understanding lineage of presidents of Korea is very easy |
Understanding the current politics of Korea is very easy with this picture. You just take a look at the picture. The short man wearing coat in the middle of the front line was the army general, carried out a military coup, made himself a president for almost 20 years, and finally assassinated by his right-hand man. After short period, an army general, the man with red circle, carried out another military coup, made himself a president. He didn't eager for long-term thing, so only got 1 term, and handed over his power to his friend, an army general who carried out coup with him. He handed over his power to a politician who was in his side. The next 10 years, they had 2 civilian presidents by the people's choice so called democratic election. Both two presidents had something common: they were totally against this lineage of military coup. Again, a politician in their side(I mean them the persons in the picture) had his term and the young woman in the left of the picture with red circle became the president today. She is the daughter of the president who carried oiut first military coup. The political bias of Korean people are mainly devided in two sides. Yes or no with the powers of the persons in the picture. See? Very easy.
