Topic Reading-Vol.1799-3/15/2017

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
South Korea: Cheers, tears as Seoul wakes up to life without Park
Park Geun-hye is the first woman elected as President and the first president ousted in South Korea. She had been regarded as First Lady of the country since her mother was killed by an assassin in 1974 until her father, then president, was assassinated by his own intelligence chief in 1979. She was so committed to her country and even said she married it instead of a partner.
Why could such a dedicated person be impeached by lawmakers, upheld by the Constitutional Court and ousted from her position? Was that because of her own wrong doing or mismanagement, political battles or public sentiment?
Enjoy reading and learning what challenges people in South Korea are facing.
