Park Geun-hye was 11 years old when she first entered the Blue House as the oldest child of former military strongman Park Chung Hee. He was elected president in 1963, two years after he seized power in the May 16, 1961 military coup, and officially moved into the presidential compound.
Absolute power leads to absolute corruption. The presidential system in many democracies is riddled with flaws, and even the US occasionally experiences problems. South Korea's constitution must be changed to implement a modified semi-presidential system. In addition, the presidency should be declared as beyond party politics. The heads of the judicial and procuratorial branches should be elected in alternating years and 1/4 of all lawmakers should face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
