The 20th South Korean presidential election will be held in early March 2022, when incumbent President Moon Jae-in will also start a new retirement life after leaving office. Previously, the predecessor of the "President of South Korea", the world's high-risk occupation, either died of death, impeachment or imprisonment. Moon is expected to become the only surviving president in South Korea who can receive a pension normally.
According to South Korea's "Chosun Ilbo" reported on the 22nd, President Moon Jae-in and his wife will live in a private house in Jangsan City, Gyeongsangnam-do after retirement. The private house is adjacent to Tongdu Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and a 50-minute drive from Fengxia Village in Gimhae City, where the tomb of former President Roh Moo-hyun is located. At present, Liangshan City has begun to build a ring road connecting Moon Jae-in's private residence and Pingshan Village and Tongdu Temple, and it is expected to be completed in 2024.
In retirement, Moon will receive 14 million won (about 5 yuan for 1,000 won) a month, and his annual salary after retirement will be 95% of his tenure. Staffed with 65 security guards. According to South Korean law, those who have been impeached or sentenced to imprisonment cannot enjoy pensions and related benefits, so none of the living former presidents of South Korea can receive this generous pension. For example, former presidents Chun Doo-hwan, Roh Tae-woo, Lee Myung-bak, Park Geun-hye and others. And Moon Jae-in may get this pension with a high probability, and enjoy a full range of benefits such as transportation, communications, office, travel, medical care and so on! We will wait and see if he will become the first president in South Korean history to "retire from success.".
