For my cultural post, I decided to focus on the scandal of Park Geun Hye and Choi soon-sil.
The whole situation needs some background. Park Geun Hye was the South Korean president and she was the daughter of a past military leader of South Korea. She was elected as president and news broke out that Choi Soon Sil was heavily involved in potentially every presidential information and decision that Park made. Choi is the daughter of a leader of a cult and was accused of influencing the decisions of Park. The whole news started to break out when there was a protest against Choi's daughter. Choi's daughter was accepted into a prestigious university with poor grades. She also never showed up to class and still managed to receive a B+ average. This was outrageous to the public and because of this the news broke out. The whole situation seems to involve more people and even corporations like Samsung. Park ended up being the first South Korean president to be impeached and is currently detained and waiting for court.
