Park Geun-Hye Email Scandal Anonymous 10/30/16 (Sun) 09:03:24 PM No. 114627

Surprised there isn't a thread on this madness. Political milk is rare.
https://askakorean.blogspot.kr/2016/10/the-irrational-downfall-of-park-geun-hye.html
tl;dr
>current South Korean president, Park Geun-Hye, is being controlled by the daughter, Choi Soon-sil, of some (late) cultist who claimed to be able to contact the spirit of Park's dead mother years ago
>Choi Soon-sil rewrites all the president's speeches until they're convoluted garbage, uses her influence to steal money from large corporations + get her daughter into a top-ranking college even though she barely even went to school
>Choi also appointed her personal trainer, her boytoy/gigolo and a K-Pop music video director (no, I'm not joking) as presidential aides, and had them present in top secret meetings about North/South Korean military meetings and governmental decisions
>Choi keeps control over the president by making psychic predictions, telling the president what colors to wear to avoid bad luck, claiming North Korea will fall in 2017, etc - basically influencing her using the same religious/spiritual pull as her father
>Shamanic/cult rituals have been held in the halls of the National Assembly because it was Choi's decision
>They were given a budget to pick out the president's wardrobe, but they just embezzled most of the money and gave her cheap crap that even the local news outlets complained about. There's footage of them smoking and eating fried chicken while near the president's official suit, and not even wiping their hands off before they carry it off for her to wear
>All of this was revealed because Choi left behind her Galaxy Tab and someone found it. Everything was available - text messages between her and the president, important documents, the president's schedules - all with no fucking encryption of any sort (and as proof it was Choi's, she had selfies on it)
>When all of this blew the fuck up, Choi escaped to Germany to hide out while Park took the heat and referred to Choi as an "old friend"
>All western news reports on this shit have been sparse with information, possibly due to Choi's links with Clinton, Soros and Merkel pulling strings to keep things quiet
It's like something out of a black comedy, or a sci-fi novel.

Tbf, Fox News reported this, as did AlJazeera and Reuters, but I'm not exactly sure if they count as Western media. There were other women involved iirc

I bet NK and China are just loving this egg-on-face situation.

I wonder if we'll get a good movie out of it.

This is some banana republic shit. No wonder Margaret Palermo loves that country, the president loves her some crazies.

Have I not been alive for long enough, or is there so much crazy shit going on in politics this year?

Sometimes reality really is stranger than fiction

As strange as it is that a shaman cultist infiltrated SK's government, what gets me the most is how a president let herself be disrespected like that as a leader, like accepting cheaply made clothes and messing with her speeches.

Donald Trump talking about rapist and murderer Mexicans is probably the least crazy thing to happen this year.

Damn I was thinking this when it happened and so desperately hoped some person would edit her conference where she admitted to all this with some korean drama music layed on top with some slowed parts or something.
