1. 'No' for South Korean President Noh

South Korea started off 2008 with a new president Lee Myung-Bak. It was such a big deal in Korea because the former president did a terrible job running the country and Koreans could not wait to find a new president. The formal president Noh Mu-Hyun was impeached in his second year of service and third year of his term, on live TV interview he said” I can’t do this job anymore! I want to quit!” This made Korean citizens furious. Also, Korea suffered from financial difficulty for the first time after they overcame the IMF crisis in 1996. I always questioned why President Noh was elected in the year of 2002 (in Korea, the presidential term is every 5years). He only graduated from high school, he never took classes on politics and never served as a governmental official. He appeared in the middle of nowhere and suddenly became a super star. I remember that when I was a sophomore in high school everyone in the news were crazy about him. They were saying how he was “one of them” and because he is poor and not educated, that he can understand the people more and would fight for people who are not in power. Wrong!
