She is South Korea's longest-serving former president, who was not taken care of by Gao Yongtai in 2017 because one of his daughter's dogs was not taken care of, and after a quarrel, the angry Andong-tae stole Choi's computer and then exposed the scandal of his girlfriend's political interference. In the end, the truth was revealed, and she had no choice but to go to jail.

She thought she should end up alone in prison, but now she has been pardoned and released from prison, setting a precedent for the current president of South Korea to pardon the former president. Why did she end up in such a field, and what will she face after she is released from prison?
The day before Christmas 2021, the South Korean government released a New Year's amnesty list that included the names of 3,094 people, including the name of former President Park Geun-hye! Another former president, Lee Myung-bak, was excluded.
In this regard, the relevant departments claimed that Moon Jae-in's amnesty for Park Geun-hye was to take into account that Park Geun-hye had already had physical problems during her imprisonment, and that the pardon of politicians through this pardon was also to promote national unity at the end of her term.
After all, Moon Jae-in will also be stepping down from the presidency in a few months, and does Moon Jae-in's ability to pardon Park Geun-hye also mean that if he is sent in by the procuratorate one day in the future, the next one can also pardon him?
The reason why Park Geun-hye has fallen to where she is today is also closely related to her growth experience. Her life was full of ups and downs, and Park Geun-hye, who was born with a golden key, had a pampered childhood.
Park Geun-hye's family
In 1961, her father, Park Chung-hee, staged a coup d'état and three years later became South Korea's president, and Park Geun-hye became the country's first princess.
At that time, she excelled in her studies and met a "good girlfriend" Choi Soon-sil during college. Choi Soon-sil and his father Choi Tae-min joined forces and have been betting on Park Geun-hye ever since, and they have reaped amazing rewards in the future!
In 1974, Park Geun-hye went to France to study, and not long after she left, her mother, then the first lady of South Korea, was shot and killed at a briefing to protect her husband.
The news of her mother's assassination made her have no intention of studying, and after returning to China, she was arranged by her father to work next to her, which also paved the way for her future politics.
In this regard, whether it is out of respect for her father or the sense of responsibility she carries, she has chosen to give up her studies and concentrate on politics. Her every move was imitating her mother, but despite her efforts, fate still had no intention of sparing her.
In 1979, her father was killed by his men at a dinner party, followed by a political reckoning with her father, Park Chung-hee, and the fact that her only younger brother dropped out of school and became addicted to drugs, all of which overwhelmed the young Park Geun-hye.

It was at this time that her best girlfriend Choi Soon-sil once again took advantage of the void, and the relationship between the two deepened again. At that time, Park Geun-hye was thinking about living this life in a low-key manner, right?
Then Park Geun-hye put all her energy into education, and this stay was 18 years.
Until 1997, when South Korea was in turmoil due to the financial crisis, Park Geun-hye also took the opportunity to return to politics and start her "second venture" road. It can be said that when she came back, she had a clear political tendency, that is, to justify her father's name. This also led to her being assassinated by opponents in 2006, but her luck was better and nothing happened.
She then entered the new presidential race, losing to Lee Myung-bak.
But she did not choose to give up, and in 2012 Park Geun-hye regrouped to participate in the presidential election again. Because she has been single and has no object, but just stays with her good girlfriend Choi Soon-sil, she uses this as her capital for running for president.
She said loudly from the podium that I had already married myself to the state, and that I had learned the lessons of the past and deliberately downplayed my father's influence on her, and she succeeded! After a lapse of 33 years, she returned to the Blue House again and began her own path to power.
Blue House
But because of her various experiences, she is less willing to trust these staff, but more willing to believe in her girlfriend Cui Shunshi. And her purpose as president is also as stated before, to find out the truth for her parents. After coming to power, Park Geun-hye even did not hesitate to revise textbooks to whitewash her father, which also made her a lot of criticism.
In 2014, in the shipwreck of the Sewol that shocked the world, not to mention the delayed rescue of the South Korean Coast Guard warship, Park Geun-hye, as the president of South Korea, seemed to have disappeared within seven hours of the accident and did not appear at all, which can be said to be a very serious dereliction of duty.
The Sewol
In the follow-up investigation, it was found that the captain of the passenger ship was a cult member under his girlfriend father Cui Taimin. Strangely, when Cui Taimin died many years ago, he left a last word, saying that sacrificing three hundred children would resurrect him. There happened to be three hundred high school students on this passenger ship, and they were temporarily arranged here from the original passenger ship! The details of all this are terrifying to ponder.
Remnants of the Seetsu
After this, Park Geun-hye was also exposed to have purchased Viagra and luxurious large beds many times, and her usual dress can be regarded as luxurious. According to documents that came to light later, Ms. Park also took care of Soong Joong-ki on several occasions. During her tenure, she also spent more than 10 billion won of treasury funds to produce documentaries for Song Joong-ki and invited Soong Joong-ki on various occasions, all of which were also talked about by the Korean people.
At the same time, as the former president of South Korea, Park Geun-hye has also been transformed into a "girl with goods" many times. Advertising the luxury store opened by his girlfriend's male pet suddenly detonated the Bag Market in South Korea, not only making the owner of the shop make a lot of money, but also allowing his girlfriend Choi Soon-sil to get a lot of benefits from it.
"Lady with Goods"
But what she did not expect was that it was the owner of the shop she brought with her high-profile goods, and Gao Yongtai, a cowherd who was also raised by Choi Soon-sil, who actually became the fuse that sent her to prison.
This Ko Yong-tae was a South Korean fencer, and after retiring from the army, he had no choice but to become a cowherd, but he was not an ordinary cowherd, otherwise he would not be able to stand up to a rich woman like Choi Soon-sil. Since then, it can be said that it has been prosperous.
Ko Yong-tae and Choi Soon-sil
Park Geun-hye's girlfriend Choi Soon-sil has a daughter, Jeong Wei-ro, who is arrogant and often flaunts his wealth. Not only did he ride hundreds of millions of won worth of famous horses around the campus, but he also made a high-profile mockery of teenagers all over Korea: If you don't have money, you can only blame your parents for not showing up!
Daughter of Choi Soon-sil, Jeong Wai-rok
As the saying goes, there will be disasters in people's madness, because once Gao Yongtai did not take good care of her dog, the arrogant Zheng Weiluo scolded Gao Yongtai with a bloody dog! Unable to bear it, Ko Yong-tae stole Choi Soon-sil's computer in a fit of rage and handed it over to the South Korean surveillance team. This became the fuse for the Korean girlfriend who later made a lot of noise to do politics.
After investigation, Choi Soon-sil's computer actually contains many of Park Geun-hye's speeches, some of which were opened before Park Geun-hye's presidential speech, and they were also revised!
It is hard to imagine that such confidential state secret documents should be on the computer of a woman without public office. How can this be tolerated by arrogant Koreans?
As the opposition grew, so did an investigation into Ms. Park. The corruption and bribery cases involved a large number of South Korean executives and chaebols, and even the Samsung prince Lee Jae-yong was also implicated, which also made Park Geun-hye completely deposed.
On March 10, 2017, the South Korean Parliament passed Park Geun-hye's impeachment bill, and Park Geun-hye officially stepped down. Not only that, but she also had to face multiple charges, and although he had found many reasons to defend himself, it was too late.
Park Geun-hye was arrested and imprisoned
On January 14, 2021, South Korea's Supreme Court issued a final ruling on her, sentencing her to 20 years in prison, plus a two-year sentence for previous election interference, for a cumulative 22-year sentence.
In fact, in the courtroom of the final trial, Park Geun-hye and her girlfriend Choi Soon-sil were at the scene, when Choi Soon-sil also cried in public and wanted to ask Park Geun-hye's forgiveness, but Park Geun-hye did not return her head. This may be what people often say that people are watching in the day, right?
It's just that the president of a country with unlimited scenery has suddenly become a prisoner, which makes Park Geun-hye very unbearable, although she has been admitted to prison, but the news about her is still coming. By May 2018, Park Geun-hye was again taken to a hospital in Seoul, South Korea, for treatment. South Korean media claimed that it was her fifth out-of-town visit since her arrest.
In the days that followed, her health deteriorated and became a problem that had to be taken seriously, and if she really died alone in prison, it would not be a good thing for the South Korean people.
Today, Ms. Park, who is said to have been in prison for four years and eight months, has deteriorated to the point where she can't chew anything. And in the photos exposed by South Korean television, Park Geun-hye has a puffy face and describes it as haggard.
Haggard Park Geun-hye
Probably for this reason, and to leave a way back for himself, South Korea's current president, Moon Jae-in, released Park Geun-hye from prison. After all, historically, South Korean presidents are really not easy to do, not only to face the surveillance of South Korean prosecutors' offices, but also to consider the influence of chaebols.
Park Geun-hye supporters gathered to call for "release" after her two-year prison sentence.
As of this year, there have been 12 presidents in South Korea's history. What is shocking is that except for the current president Moon Jae-in, the other 11 have no good ending. Therefore, Moon Jae-in's move can be described as full of deep meaning.
According to foreign media speculation, Park Geun-hye's sister Park Geun-ling also began to run for president. If this happens, then Moon May face retaliation, which Moon does not want to see, so it is undoubtedly a matter of course to release Park Geun-hye before the end of his term.
Park Geun-hye's younger sister
Although Park Geun-hye also responded to this and expressed her gratitude to Moon Jae-in, what will happen after her release from prison is another focus of attention.
According to South Korean media reports, in August this year, Ms. Park's private home in Seoul's Gangnam district was forcibly auctioned off by South Korean prosecutors to repay the fines she owed while she was in prison.

So she may face homelessness after she is released from prison, but all this is not particularly important, and she should have to be treated in the hospital for a long time after she is released from prison. And there is no pension, no driver and no secretary.
Looking at most of Park Geun-hye's life, in fact, it is not difficult to find that this is a woman with a bitter fate, her parents have died, and the relationship with her younger brothers and sisters is not harmonious, she thought that she was a confidant of her girlfriend Choi Soon-sil, but stabbed her in the back, making her bear countless infamy.
