The Japan TimesSouth Korea's former President Yoon Suk Yeol faces prison or even the death penalty, but he is far from the first leader in the nation to have his term end in tatters. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/19/asia-pacific/politics/south-korea-leaders/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #politics #southkorea #yoonsukyeol #parkgeunhye #leemyungbak #samsung #rohmoohyun #chundoohwan #parkchunghee #yunposun #syngmanrhee
Dope Old PersonAgain, this page makes more sense, 5 years on, with RM having shared Sanullim's track Farewell when he went into MS. It's been hard to Google many of the earlier bands, but it's quite obvious the way of life in #Korea has shaped the musical culture. From Japanese occupation to US bases, to strict controls of the 1970s. #ParkChungHee
Sim BarrAutographs
In 1971, my older brother and I attempted to collect the autographs of all the world leaders. We kept a detailed record of who we wrote to, who responded, and how long it took. The project lasted for several years. Here are some of our treasures!
1) Albert-Bernard Bongo, Gabon
2) Park Chung Hee, South Korea
3) Anwar Sadat, Egypt
4) Indira Ghandi, India
