Because some presidents will engage in corruption and intra-party struggles for power. I think it's not that the profession of the president is high-risk, but that it's caused by the president's failure to be honest and upright.
Some people say that South Korea’s Blue House has bad feng shui and that the South Korean president is one of the most dangerous professions in the world. There are people who have been assassinated, committed suicide, exiled and imprisoned. Even former President Lee Myung-bak, who only enjoyed presidential treatment, was arrested by prosecutors. In Korean society, there is a saying that "the president's ending is not good."
Many people attribute the president's "mistakes" to "political revenge," so the endings of all Korean presidents have not been good. Among them, only one former South Korean president who ended well was arrested by a South Korean court. He is former South Korean President Lee Myung-bak. He is currently facing 20 charges. South Korea's Yonhap News Agency reported on Tuesday that the 77-year-old Lee Myung-bak served as South Korea's president from 2008 to 2013. The president is the fifth former president to be subpoenaed by prosecutors.
So far, Lee Myung-bak, the only politician in South Korea who enjoys the courtesy of a former president, has been arrested. Therefore, he became the fifth former South Korean president to be arrested by prosecutors as a suspect, following former presidents Roh Tae-woo, Chun Doo-hwan, Roh Moo-hyun and Park Geun-hye.
Park Geun-hye, the first female president in South Korea’s history, chose to rely on the United States when there was a crisis on the Korean peninsula. Regardless of the strategic interests of China and Russia, the voice of the domestic people, and the deployment of the South Korean organization regardless of public opinion, even if there was no bestie scandal, this was just the trigger, accelerating President Park's move from the top to a prisoner.
This kind of torture and trial can be said to be an insult to the former president. But for South Korean presidents, this is the norm. In political struggles, corruption is very serious, and every president controls South Korea with his supreme power. He cannot control his ambitions, so corruption is serious. Some presidents have even become victims of political struggles. It is not that Qinghuatai's feng shui is bad, but that people's hearts are not good.
