Death of a leader

By Mike Woodard

Roh Moo-hyun, the former South Korean president, committed suicide on May 23rd. Roh Moo-hyun had his pride and reputation was earlier ruined when he admitted to graft. Roh Moo-hyun was expected to soon face charges and decided to choose suicide instead. The article continues to go on to talk about how South Korean presidents have had a history of corruption and scandals. The people in South Korea thought Mr. Roh was different because he constantly spoke out against scandals like graft in his speeches while running.
