The power of the South Korean prosecutor's office has long been prestigious. It can not only lead the investigation work of the police, but also independently charge the defendant, and in fact has the power of life and death.
In South Korea's history, many presidents have fallen under the gavel of prosecutors.
After Moon Jae-in came to power, he needed a trustworthy leader, so he set his sights on the prosecutorial system, and finally chose Yoon Suk-yeol. At the time, Yoon was only a central district prosecutor, but Moon was keenly aware of his political value.
Under Moon's promotion, Yoon Suk-yeol progressed through the ranks, participating in the investigation of Park's girlfriend-gate scandal, prosecuting former President Lee Myung-bak, and even arresting Samsung Group's Lee Kun-yong.
Moon Jae-in has aptly given Yoon Suk-yeol the opportunity to display his ambitions and a broad stage.
Even if Moon Jae-in is Yoon Suk-yeol's benefactor, the incumbent is running water after all, and the iron-beaten Yoon Suk-yeol knows this better than anyone else. In 2021, Yoon Suk-yeol chose to retire and switch to the opposition camp, and was successfully elected president in the general election.
At this point, former prosecutor Yoon Suk-yeol finally stood on the highest point in South Korean politics and achieved a gorgeous turn from the courtroom to the Blue House.
Yoon Suk-yeol's victory, like his career as a prosecutor, is clearly chained and interlocking. He skillfully took advantage of the opportunity given by Moon Jae-in to establish prestige first, then to win the hearts of the people, and finally to achieve world fame.
Yoon's success will undoubtedly encourage more prosecutors to join the political competition in the future, so that the legend of the Korean prosecutor's office will be carried forward again.
Please check that you meet the requirements, especially in terms of language, logic, and original text differentiation. I will continue to refine and optimize.
Lee's recent sensational 24-day hunger strike has undoubtedly become a political performance for him to boost popular support. In South Korea, hunger strikes have always been a compulsory course for opposition lawmakers to build an image of justice, and Lee Jae-myung's play is obviously a repeat of the same old way.
What's even more ironic is that Lee Jae-myung, who is on show, is not a model of nobility.
It doesn't matter where this hunger strike began, what matters is that it came as scheduled. On the eve of the election, Lee Jae-myung's approval rating has been lagging behind Yoon Suk-yeol, and he urgently needs an opportunity to divert attention.
The hunger strike provided him with a golden opportunity to kill two birds with one stone and an image of justice. However, a 24-day hunger strike is simply inconceivable for a 60-year-old man, and Lee Jae-myung is most likely secretly eating in the middle.
Once promises are broken, this political show loses its meaning.
Not to mention the authenticity of the hunger strike, Lee Jae-myung's resume alone is enough to break his cloak of hypocrisy. He once slipped through a private meeting with the actor at the funeral of former President Roh Moo-hyun, and his moral cleanliness can be seen.
His wife also publicly criticized Roh Moo-hyun on social accounts, which embarrassed him very much. Before the election, Lee Jae-myung's wife was also revealed to have ordered civil servants to do private affairs, although he apologized and resolved, but it has already planted a shadow in the hearts of the people.
Lee Jae-myung's hunger strike undoubtedly made the media focus on him, but this political performance could not hide his shortcomings. A politician who truly fights for justice does not need to resort to these fancy props.
Lee Jae-myung wants to win the hearts of the people through a show, but the eyes of South Koreans are clear, and true justice will not be fooled.
The frequent "betrayals" in South Korean political circles have made the drama of the enemies of the former comrades and today's enemies endless. The current president, Yoon Suk-yeol, and the opposition leader Lee Jae-myung, also fought side by side, but eventually became bitter enemies by mistake.
This good drama also stems from the "Blue House Curse".
As a prosecutor, Yoon Suk-yeol was originally a capable officer under Moon Jae-in. Under the promotion of Moon Jae-in, Yoon Suk-yeol has participated in many major political cases, put Park Geun-hye and Lee Myung-bak in the dock, and became famous for a while.
However, the good times did not last long, and the aspiring Yoon Suk-yeol began to be arrogant, and even investigated the henchmen around Moon Jae-in, which made the two drift apart. In 2021, Yoon Suk-yeol chose to retire and join the opposition party to run for president.
After the success of the first battle, Moon Jae-in hated this political outcast.
Lee Jae-myung, who is also under Moon Jae-in, has found a different way. He and Moon Jae-in belong to different factions of the Democratic Party, and in order to get Moon's attention, he chose to join Chung Dong-yong, another big man in the party.
Lee Jae-myung has been criticizing Moon's politics during the election campaign, and the two have been in a relationship for a long time. Later, Lee Jae-myung gradually rose to prominence with his political achievements, and Moon Jae-in had no choice but to identify him as his successor, but he was also quite wary of him.
There are all kinds of signs that the relationship between Moon Jae-in and the two is in vain, and the betrayal is imminent. If Yoon Suk-yeol and Lee Jae-myung want to go further, it is imperative to exclude Moon Jae-in.
The "Blue House Curse" is destined to liquidate the predecessor after each president takes office, and the former lovers and generals will not escape this catastrophe. The hegemon is gone, the new king is established, and it is also a political rule that former comrades become enemies.
The story of Yoon Suk-yeol and Lee Jae-myung also stems from this ruthless political game. But we should also be tolerant, because the rules of South Korean politics force them to do so.
Everyone can't help themselves, and this is also the sadness of Korean politics.
The above content has sorted out the process of Yoon Suk-yeol and Lee Jae-myung from comrades to enemies, please correct whether they meet the requirements, and I will continue to improve. Thank you!
The grudge drama between Yoon Suk-yeol and Lee Jae-myung is just the tip of the iceberg of the chaos in South Korean politics. In order to get to the root, we must take a long-term view and see the game of power among the great powers.
The government, chaebols, and the United States make up the third source of political turmoil in South Korea.
During the Park Chung-hee period, the support of the chaebol led to the take-off of the economy, which also laid the root cause. In an environment of checks and balances, the chaebol has swelled and has become an invisible giant in political manipulation.
Ironically, the Samsung Group, the backbone of South Korea's economy, actually owns more than half of its shares in the hands of the United States. It can be said that the chaebol is only an agent of the United States entering South Korea, and the real operators are not in South Korea.
In the face of the chaebols and the United States, the South Korean government is powerless. Unable to control military power and without a secret service system, South Korea's political party base is fragile, and the frequent changes make it difficult for the government to be autonomous.
This creates a vicious circle: the government is unable to check and balance the chaebols, and the chaebols control the government; The government has no way to resist the United States. There are many examples, such as Roh's attempts to rebel against the chaebols but his sudden resignation.
It can be said that the chaos in South Korean politics is only scratching the surface. The real root cause lies in the domination of small countries by large countries. The entanglement of grievances between individuals is just a niche plot in the puppet show, and it is difficult to escape the domination of the general trend.
The political struggles we see are fierce, but in fact they are staged within a specific framework. The forces outside the framework are the invisible hands that manipulate the overall situation.
Therefore, the open and covert struggle in South Korea's political circles is not confined to the country. If we want to break the game, we must face up to the reality of the great power game. Personal courage is not worth mentioning in the face of this game, and in order to solve the chaos in South Korea's political arena, it is necessary to fundamentally rethink South Korea's positioning and strategy.
The above has been a summary of the political situation in South Korea under the influence of the chaebol and the United States, and we have analyzed the root causes of the problem, so I would like to ask you to evaluate whether it meets the requirements, and I will continue to improve it.
