Former President Park Geun-hye returned home two days after the Constitutional Court’s final ruling upholding her impeachment by the National Assembly for abuse of power. The people hoped she would make a statement expressing her respect for the top court’s decision and a plea for national harmony amid the ongoing conflicts over her impeachment.
Park Geun-hye has been removed from office, but the next president probably will not be free of the curse of corruption. To cure this "Korean disease", the only solution is comprehensive constitutional reform to implement separation of powers and checks and balances. In addition, the president must act as the ultimate guarantor for the constitution in all state affairs, a duty that shall continue even after he/she leaves office.
