Without waiting for Moon Jae-in's pardon, there may be two options for where Park Geun-hye will be buried after her death
Mid-Autumn Festival on September 17 this year. While others are reunited with their families, Park Geun-hye, a former president of South Korea, spends her fifth Mid-Autumn Festival in her cell.
South Korean presidents are said to be high-risk professions, and Park Geun-hye is no exception. In 2017, Park Geun-hye was impeached and imprisoned for her constant violations of the Constitution during her tenure as President of South Korea, as well as incidents of cronies interfering in politics and accepting bribes.
On January 14, 2021, Park Geun-hye was sentenced to 22 years in prison on multiple charges.
Therefore, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, Park Geun-hye can only spend in prison, and what is more tragic is that due to the impact of the new crown epidemic, the prison does not allow anyone to visit, and Park Geun-hye can only spend the holiday alone. However, for humanitarian reasons, the prison prepared a richer breakfast than usual, as well as two small packets of cookies. In addition, Park Geun-hye also has the right to watch TV, but the choice of channels is limited.
In fact, there has been a great controversy in South Korea about whether to pardon Park Geun-hye.
Some people believe that Park Geun-hye, as the former president of South Korea, cannot let her die in prison even if she has a big fault; however, some people believe that Park Geun-hye has today's fate, which is completely self-inflicted and deserved. After the shipwreck of the Sewol, Park Geun-hye disappeared for 7 hours because of her own hair, delaying the best search and rescue time, which made the South Korean people very resentful, and politically, Park Geun-hye has always been resigned to the United States, and even obeyed the orders of the United States and deployed the THAAD system.
As for whether South Korea's current president, Moon Jae-in, will pardon Park Geun-hye, the answer is also no. First, as a good friend of former South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun, Moon Jae-in has no sympathy for Park Geun-hye, who was with Lee Myung-bak's faction who killed his friend. Second, on August 15, South Korea's Gwang-Eden, Moon released 810 prisoners on early parole to celebrate the holiday, although among them were Samsung chaebol Lee Jae-yong.
However, to the disappointment of Park's supporters, there was no Park Geun-hye among the pardoned prisoners.
It is reported that next May, Moon Jae-in will step down as South Korea's president, and at that time, Park Geun-hye's where to go will be decided by the next president of South Korea. Today, Ms. Park's former subordinate, Mr. Hong, is also a candidate for South Korea's presidency, and he has promised to pardon Ms. Park if elected.
However, Park Geun-hye, born in 1952, is now 69 years old, and according to the original judgment, it will not be at least 87 years old to be released, and more importantly, Park Geun-hye's physical condition is not optimistic, and many people believe that Park Geun-hye will not be able to survive until the day of her release from prison, or even the day of amnesty.
So if Park Geun-hye dies in prison, where will she be buried?
There are two places where park geun-hye will be buried, one is Daegu City, South Korea, because it is her birthplace and hometown, and the other is Seoul Hyunjeong-in Temple, the exclusive cemetery of the Korean president, where Park Geun-hye's parents are also buried.
Logically, Park Geun-hye, as the president of South Korea, will most likely be buried here, but everything has not yet fallen to the ground, and everyone cannot be sure how Park Geun-hye will end
