Now I sit in an Internet Cafe @Incheon Airport, and do not know how I can use Japanese letters.
Most likely you may read English, eh? So today's article is written in English.
When I told my friend that I was going to Korea, he asked me if it is safe to visit Korea now. Why? Demonstration against President Park or something. Typical confusion ! They misunderstand easily, and are quick to believe what they see on a TV screen. It may not be a fake message, but it is not a truth either. Demonstration is there, and support rate for the President steeply fell down. But the living of Korean people do not change at all. That is her issue, not theirs.
Still I believe the Korean guys shall pay more attention on such political issues.
Some guys hate the President, which is a matter of the nature of politics. And mass media wants to pick up the issue which many people want to peep.
This type of operation makes people lose the interest in politics. But it is the hole people should be more attentive.
She still is the President. If people have a very good reason to displace her from her current position, they should do so. But as far as I know, the problem here is that she had a bad friend, and this friend tried to use a sort of influence to make money or else. It is not a good thing, and the President may stop the friendship with her. If the friend has committed any crime, she should get a justice.
The question here is if the President herself is criminal. It is still unknown if she committed any crime or not. As long as it is not proven, she is supposed to be not guilty of course.
Political opponent may say anything, and mass media can write anything as long as it gets more readers and audiences. But the relation between the President and the people is only ruled by the constitution. The President shall make any critical decision as far as it is critical for the people. People should judge the President in terms of her doing and saying, and not that her friendship is good or bad.
Outside Korea people simply watch the footage of TV news show. If the watcher is interested in the issue, he or she must learn scientifically. The President is still there, and if she can prove that she is a good President, though she regrets about her old bad friend, she IS the President.
My expectation with the President is simply that she will find a new friend, and what I hope is that the new one is a very good person for the President and for the nation as well.
