Former South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun .
The name may not sound familiar. I can't blame you. It did not in fact deliver the slightest hint of familiarity to me either. Only when I had my little check did I find out. He was actually the 16th President of S- Korea winning through the strong influence of Internet activists. If you happen to love something about political talks, your view will surely be challenged with this issue.
Politics isn't really my cup of tea, I know. But this first suicide by a modern South Korean leader would leave you wondering over why such a tragic? He died at the age of 62, such young age for me to be ended still, in the village of Bongha on Saturday (today) morning and jumped to his death while hiking in the mountains behind his rural southern home according to his lawyer. Imagine the scenarios? A man throwing himself off the mountainside rock ?
He and his family were said to be trapped in the expansion of bribery scandal. And that accusations deeply shamed him. Line such as "I have no face to show to the people. I am sorry for disappointing you," justified the sentence. There was this brief suicide note for his family and yet Investigators have not seen it.

Hard to believe noh? when he had apologized to the nation dated April 30, 2009. I can't imagine how much confusion his mind had before reaching the decision to end it ALL through suicide. 'Twas head injuries. Rushed to hospital at 8:15 a.m. and died 9:30 a.m. What did I do at that time? watching cartoons. Heck! You really never know what's happening around you unless you take the search.
It saddens me to know that some people have to go through that painful death. The conviction, judgment, rumors etc. everything of it makes it more hard for him maybe.
I'm not making any sense with this. Am I?

This is very tragic. I'm a lover of life and I can't begin to understand why some people can choose to end their lives just like that. No matter how hopeless or desperate you think life is, life will not always be miserable. There's always something good that will come out of it.

@ A n g e l - I tried to think the same way you do Gel. Maybe it's just TOO much for him to handle. I couldn't just think why people do things like that.
