The death of Roh Moo-hyun and the impeachment of Park Geun-hye inflamed victim mentality, which then led to greater internal unity partnered with more extreme hatred of the opposition
Former presidents of Korea have been taking contrasting approaches to their political appearances, with less than two weeks to go before the April 10 general elections. Former liberal President Moon Jae-in has been active in supporting opposition candidates, while two former conservative presidents - Park Geun-hye and Lee Myung-bak - have remained relatively quiet.
Concerns are mounting within the main opposition Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) that it could potentially lose its majority in the National Assembly or face a significant defeat at the hands of the ruling People Power Party (PPP) in the upcoming April 10 general elections. This apprehension stems from the escalating factional infighting within the DPK over candidate nominations.
