Who exactly amnesty was former South Korean President Roh Tae-woo and Chun Doo-hwan? Why amnesty for them?

Rank, welcome to reading history according to the calendar.

2021 can be called the year of the president for South Korea, especially in the second half of the year, a lot of big news is around the president and former president of South Korea.

First of all, within a month, two former presidents of South Korea died one after another, one was former President Roh Tae-woo and the other was former President Chun Doo-hwan, although these two people have been the president of South Korea for many years, but it can be said that they are late.

After retiring, they were investigated and taken into custody by the South Korean government, and even one person was sentenced to death, but the two did not spend much time in prison and were pardoned, but the two of them have been saddled with such crimes in their later years.

In particular, Chun Doo-hwan, last year we also said that Chun Doo-hwan was sued in court for a defamation case, and the former president, who is almost 90 years old, will also be thrown into prison, and if that happens, there will be a spectacle in South Korea, and the former president will be locked up in the country's prison.

Later, considering that Chun Doo-hwan was too old, the court sentenced him to a suspended sentence, and the likes and dislikes of the two former presidents in South Korea were still different.

When Lu Tae-woo died, South Korea also gave him a state funeral, and after Chun Doo-hwan's death, South Korea said that it was impossible to give him a state funeral.

Well, these two former presidents have passed away, and there are still two people in prison, including a former president of Park Geun-hye, which can be regarded as the dawn of the dawn, because it is just between these two Tian Jae-in signing amnesty Park Geun-hye, park Geun-hye can go home for the New Year.

But in the last episode, we also talked to everyone, and this Lee Myung-bak wants to wait for the amnesty, which is probably very difficult, because after all, Moon Jae-in counts the matter of Roh Moo-hyun jumping off the cliff on Lee Myung-bak's head.

Moon Believes that it was Lee Myung-bak who connived at the procuratorate's unbridled investigation and eventually forced his brother Roh Moo-hyun to die, so Park Geun-hye could be pardoned, but Lee Myung-bak then you wait.

I think Moon Jae-in's amnesty park geun-hye now has a role, why? He avoided the tragic fate of the former presidents of South Korea, and if you think that if he did not pardon, then now everyone describes the former president of South Korea and says that all the former presidents of South Korea are either dead, some are assassinated, or they are in prison.

Especially in a few months, Moon Jae-in will also become a former president, is he too lonely at that time? So while he is still in power, he will give this Park Geun-hye amnesty, so that when people talk about the former president of South Korea, they will feel that their fate is not so tragic.

Speaking of this, everyone may have a question, since they are all amnesties, can Moon Jae-in pardon only one person and not pardon another? Of course it is possible, because after all, amnesty is the right of the president.

And in the past programs we have also talked to you, Moon Jae-in at this point in time amnesty Park Geun-hye, there is a heavy consideration, that next April can be the South Korean election, this time amnesty Park Geun-hye can change a lot of people's hearts.

Ms. Park has so many supporters that Moon Jae-in's move would give his party's candidates more votes, or at least a few fewer opponents, and this is not the first time that this has happened.

For example, just now we said, this former president Roh Tae-woo and Chun Doo-hwan, in the eyes of the South Korean people, the two of them are simply the most evil, and Park Chung-hee is not the same, Park Chung-hee, although known as a dictator, but Park Chung-hee ruled South Korea for more than ten years, he governed that period, just in time for South Korea to slowly move from the most poor and weak to the economic take-off.

Therefore, many Korean people think that Park Chung-hee is meritorious to South Korea, so he loves House and Wu, and adds a little love to this Park Geun-hye.

And chun doo-hwan and Lu Tae-woo? Many South Koreans talk about them, they are almost itching their teeth and gritting their teeth, which is why after the two of them stepped down, they were quickly arrested by the South Korean government, and then tried and even sentenced to death.

But who pardoned these two most evil men? Some people say it's President Kim Young-sam, some people say it's President Kim Dae-jung, what's going on?

We can talk to you about this matter from the 1997 South Korean election, at the end of 1997 there will be a South Korean election, the south Korean president at that time was Kim Yong-sam, in kim yong-san two former presidents, Roh Tae-woo and Chun Doo-hwan were found guilty and stayed in prison.

At this time, because the presidential election is about to be held at the end of the year, all factions and horses are eager to move and put forward their own various proposals, among which the most likely to be elected as the next president is Kim Dae-jung, Kim Dae-jung proposed in August 1997 that if he is elected president, he will set up two former presidents, why?

Kim Dae-jung's reasoning was that although these two men were extremely evil, they had blood debts in their hands, and some people died at the guns of the soldiers they commanded, but during the tenure of these two people, the South Korean economy took off.

In previous programs, we have said that the Seoul Olympic Games in 1988 was one of the symbols of South Korea's economic take-off, and this Olympic Games was won by Chun Doo-hwan and directly organized during Roh Tae-woo's tenure.

In the 1980s, south Korea's economy has been growing strongly, and it has come to be known as the Miracle of the Han River, and these two people have contributed to the country's domestic economic development.

In particular, Kim Dae-jung also hopes that when the new era arrives, South Korea can reach a political reconciliation, not as in the past, full of assassination plots, and all political forces can discuss things under the sun in a down-to-earth manner.

So Kim Dae-jung proposed in August 1997 that if he was elected president, he would pardon the two former presidents.

We know that you are electing an election that you want the more people who support you, the better, the fewer people who support your opponents, the better, even if some voters are extremely disdainful of you, he will never vote for you, but if he does not vote for his opponent, it is also a good thing for you.

In Kim Dae-jung's view, Chun Doo-hwan and Roh Tae-woo have ruled South Korea for more than 10 years, and although they have many crimes, they also have a lot of supporters, who also hope that their master will one day leave prison early.

Therefore, Kim Dae-jung's proposal at this time is very popular, which can help him absorb votes, or at least let his opponents take fewer votes.

Especially after Kim Dae-jung did this, other South Korean presidential candidates have also expressed their positions, if we are elected president, we will also pardon these two former presidents, the reason is very simple, for them, this cheap can not let Kim Dae-jung you alone occupy, you Kim Dae-jung to be a good person to pardon those two people, as if we are doing evil people.

So in fact, at kim dae-jung's initiative, an atmosphere of amnesty for the two former presidents was slowly formed in South Korea at that time, which is quite similar to today.

We have talked to you in the past, Moon Jae-in amnesty Park Geun-hye at this time, or very wise, everyone thinks, in a few months South Korea will be a presidential election, if Moon Jae-in does not operate this way at this time, then it is obvious that in the next two or three months, when the election is white-hot, all factions will definitely put forward various political views.

At that time, it was simply possible to have one more vote, according to some people's words, one vote and one world, so there must be many candidates who will propose that after they are elected, they will pardon both former presidents in order to attract people's hearts, so at this time Moon Jae-in amnesty Park Geun-hye is a very clever approach.

Similarly, Kim Dae-jung was elected president of South Korea in December 1997, and after his election, he went to the Blue House to meet with President Kim Young-sam to discuss the issue of this handover.

After the two sides discussed, Kim Yong-san said that it was okay, and since you have already said that after you are elected president, you will pardon two former presidents, so why don't I simply be a shunshui person, don't wait for Kim Dae-jung to take office, and just give amnesty to these two people during Kim Yong-san's term of office.

So we can say that kim dae-jung's initiative eventually made Chun Doo-hwan and Roh Tae-woo go home for the New Year at the end of 1997, basically not staying in prison for long, of course, later Korean folk also said that it is probably because of Kim Dae-jung's righteous deeds that he is almost the most successful of the former presidents of South Korea.
