After Roh Tae-woo was elected in the 13th presidential election, the title for Lee Soon-ja was also known to have changed to Jae-guk's mother, which belatedly caused a grievance. This scene also appears in episode 40 of the drama <The Fifth Republic>.[8] Afterwards, he was reported to have said, “ Soyoung’s dad is the president who was directly elected by the people, and Jaegook’s dad is the president who was elected at the gym.”
However, Yi Sun-ja denied these anecdotes and recalled that they respected each other, saying, "How could that be possible when she is four years older than herself?" She also revealed that the friendship between her spouses was as strong as her husbands were friends, and they stayed close for 10 years, studying English together and sharing concerns about housework and children.

Kim Ok-sook, 13th First Lady and former Soviet President Gorbachev |
She participated in many activities, including actively supporting her husband Roh Tae-woo 's northern diplomacy. Nevertheless, she is remembered as the only presidential spouse without a saying, and from the beginning of her inauguration, she maintained her shadowy and stealthy style, resembling her husband Roh Tae-woo, whose presence was faint despite leaving many traces.

Originally, she had a very active personality, but the background of her quiet movement was because of Lee Sun-ja, the former spouse of the president. During the presidency of former President Chun Doo-hwan, Lee Soon -ja used external activities as an excuse to act arrogantly, cause various accidents, and had a bad image, so she learned from this and stayed quiet.
During the five years she was the spouse of the president, in public appearances, she bowed 90 degrees to the public unconditionally and just stood still with a smile on her face next to Roh Tae-woo. She rarely gave interviews to the press.[9] Her solo schedule, such as visiting welfare institutions, was unconditionally private. Perhaps that is why he is evaluated as the most humble and cautious of the presidential spouses.[10]

Kim Ok -sook, the 13th first lady who visits 5.18 Kumyo Station in Mangwol -dong, Gwangju |
It is a little known fact, but on February 25, 1988, immediately after the establishment of the 6th Republic, Kim Ok-sook visited the May 18 Cemetery in Gwangju Metropolitan City in complete secrecy and paid respects. article[11] Chun Doo-hwan did not acknowledge the bloody suppression of the citizens of Gwangju until the moment of his death. This is a contrast between the former president and his wife Lee Soon-ja , who actively supports him .
Husband Noh Tae-woo Even after the former president left office, she continued to lead a quiet life and, like her husband, rarely appeared in the media. In particular, she appeared to apologize for her past history, showing a contrasting move with Lee Soon-ja, her former presidential spouse. However, because she had difficulty moving, she expressed her apology on her behalf through her son Noh Jae-heon. On May 18, 2020, Noh Jae-heon was appointed to Gwangju Metropolitan City. I visited the grave of martyr Lee Han- yeol at the 5.18 Old Cemetery in Mangwol-dong, and she sent an artificial flower in the name of Kim Ok-sook.
I spent the rest of my life taking great care of my husband, Roh Tae-woo, despite his uncomfortable movements, and on October 26, 2021, my husband, Roh Tae- woo, passed away. The former president passed away first, and Mrs. Kim Ok-sook appeared at her funeral on the third day of her husband's funeral, supported by her children.
Noh Jae -heon mentioned that Kim Ok-sook, like her husband, former President Roh Tae-woo, was in poor health and was living in and out of hospitals. Even during her husband Roh Tae-woo's funeral, Kim Ok-sook did not stay at her funeral, and she went back and forth between her home in Yeonhui-dong and the hospital.
On October 30, 2021, she attended the funeral of her husband, former President Roh Tae-woo, held at the Olympic Park in a wheelchair and holding a cane . She laid flowers while being supported by her children, and was shown through a live broadcast showing that she could not hold back her tears. Immediately after the funeral, on the way to the Seoul Memorial Park in the car, he waved goodbye to the attendees who had come to the funeral .
On May 19, 2025, after visiting 1988, he visited Mangwol -dong 5.18 Cemetery and the May 18 Democratic Cemetery with his son Roh Jae -heon. The behavior was uncomfortable and visited the wheelchair, and the grave of Lee Han -yeol was also visited and the guestbook was left. Because the behavior was uncomfortable, the guestbook was written by his son Roh Jae -heon. #

3. etc
- She is currently the oldest living first lady .[12]
- It was reported that Protestant has been believed for a while , but after former President Roh Tae -woo's death on October 26, 2021, former President Roh Tae -woo was baptized in 2006, and his wife Kim Ok -sook was baptized around April 2021. As a result, former President Roh Tae -woo's entrance ceremony was held under the Catholic ceremony under Father Oh Woong -jin.
- As you can see from the photo, she is quite a beauty with straight features that stand out even when she is already middle-aged . It is said that when she went to the beauty salon when she was a virgin, she was often encouraged to enter the Miss Korea pageant. Go Doo-shim resembles First Lady Kim Ok-sook. Her husband, President Roh Tae-woo, was also a handsome man with a handsome face and quite tall (178 cm) when he was young , and he himself is quite tall, in his late 160s or around 170.[13] Perhaps because they resemble their parents, their children are famous for being tall and good-looking.[14] Even now in her 90s, many people say she has aged gracefully.
- There is a story that even though Chun Doo-hwan 's wife , Lee Sun-ja , was four years younger than Roh Tae-woo 's wife, Kim Ok-sook, she openly belittled her and treated her as a subordinate . This was due to the rotten disease of the South Korean Armed Forces, where the rank of wives was determined by their husband's military rank. So, even though Lee Soon-ja was four years younger than Kim Ok-sook, she suffered humiliation for several decades. When her husband, Roh Tae-woo, was elected president in 1988, Lee Soon-ja said, "Now I am different from you. You are the president's wife who graduated from the gym, and I am the president's wife who was elected by the entire nation! I suffered a lot in the past, but not now!" This is a very famous anecdote that was also revealed in the media.[15] However, Soonja Lee denied this and said, “How can you treat someone who is four years older than you?” He recalled that they used honorifics for each other. And, just as the husbands were friends, the spouses had a close friendship, and it is said that they stayed close for 10 years, studying English together and sharing concerns about household chores and children. Regardless of what happened in their interview, neither of them made any further comments about it, so we don't know the truth, but they may have lied about it because they didn't want to be talked about in the media. This is because it was not a day or two that soldiers' wives were ranked according to rank.
- It seems like she has a lot of affection for her alma mater, Gyeongbuk Girls’ High School . After she left the position of first lady, she also contributed articles to the school magazine “Lily”.[16] She is engraved with # on the curtains of her auditorium, and an alumni certificate from Kim Ok-sook, advisor to the Alumni Association, and she also donated 50 million won to the construction of the history museum. # #
- After the slush fund scandal, it was revealed that Roh Tae-woo and Kim Ok-sook had been making monthly donations to Kkottongnae in Eumseong, North Chungcheong Province, and the amount was met with criticism when it was revealed that the amount was 2,000 won per month . He made a public apology for the slush fund incident and explained, "I used my assets to help the less fortunate and dedicate myself to the country," but in reality, the amount of donations revealed was only 2,000 won per month. At the time, while suspicions arose about Mrs. Kim Ok-sook's secret slush fund , the media pointed out that she had "big hands when collecting and small hands when spending" in a hypocritical situation that contrasted sharply with the size of the slush fund, which was mentioned as hundreds of billions of won, up to 1 trillion won. . #

[Lunar] August 11th .[2] The 28th generation descendant of the Chambonggong faction is ○dong (○東) , but he does not use the surname ○dong. ( Genealogy (1), Genealogy (2) )[3] She is the daughter of Hong Jong-mok of the Namyang Hong Clan.[4] 金 貞 淑, 1937.10.24. Currently, he graduated from Ewha Womans University , and married former Minister of Commerce and Industry .[5] In the past, he believed in Protestantism due to the influence of his daughter Noh So-young , a Protestant, but converted after being baptized in April 2021 . # However, apart from this, Kim Ok-sook herself, like her husband, had a deep connection with the Buddhist world, and also had a dharma name called ‘Mandeokjeon’ . For reference, Mandeokjeon is another space actually located in Jikjisa Temple in Gimcheon City .[6] August 7, 1905. ~ 1980.7.5. He is 74 years old.[7] 1908.9.18. ~ 1997.8.9. He is 88 years old. She is the daughter of Jongmok Hong (洪鍾穆).[8] At the end of the presidential election, he welcomed Chun Doo -hwan with his husband Roh Tae -woo, and was described to Lee Soon -ja, "Why is the 5th Republic so popular? I don't know how hard the election is." Naturally, Lee Sun -ja, who was listening to it, did not hide his uncomfortable expression.[9] In 1990, she had an exclusive interview through the first issue of <Queen>, a women's magazine published by Seoul Shinmun .[10] Yi Sun-ja was the exact opposite. In the days of Dingjeon News, not only Chun Doo-hwan, but also Yi Sun-ja's daily life was reported in the media, and even a joke that Lee Soon-ja's pen name was 'one side' came out. "Meanwhile, First Lady Lee Sun-ja is today~" was reported as a sympathy article, but the contents were trivial things that the general public did not need to know.[11] Since the photos were taken openly, it may be said that it was not 'highly confidential', but the photos were first made public in 1992 (four years later). Considering that the Blue House (Roh Tae-woo administration) was not pleased with this fact and did not make it public in 1988, it can be seen that Kim Ok-sook visited the shrine out of her own personal will.[12] In terms of succession, the most senior First Lady is Lee Soon-ja , the spouse of the 11th and 12th President Chun Doo-hwan .[13] Although Kim Ok-sook's height is not officially known, when wearing hanbok, she usually wears heelless shoes like rubber shoes instead of heels, so if you look at the photo of her wearing hanbok, where her height reaches the forehead level of her husband wearing shoes, or the photo of her shaking hands with Gorbachev (175 cm) above, you can assume that she is close to 170 cm. Her older brother, Kim Bok-dong, was also quite tall, standing at 178 cm, the same height as her husband, Roh Tae-woo.[14] When you look at their faces, daughter Noh So-young resembles Kim Ok-sook, and son Noh Jae-heon resembles Roh Tae-woo. And the maternal granddaughter Choi Min-jeong looks a lot like Kim Ok-sook.[15] In fact, this is a very meaningful statement when viewed as a universal principle of democracy . This is because, compared to Chun Doo- hwan , who was elected by an unorthodox organization called the National Assembly for Unification at the Jangchung Gymnasium, Roh Tae-woo was elected through a direct election system with the participation of the entire nation . Of course, if Roh Tae-woo's victory in the 13th presidential election is strictly evaluated , it is pointed out that it is a representative example of the election of a Condorcet loser . However, compared to Roh Tae-woo, who has no flaws at least procedurally, Chun Doo-hwan failed to properly meet even the minimum procedural legitimacy, so the political legitimacy of the two cannot even be compared . The reason why this anecdote, which is just a rumor whose truth is not clear, has been talked about for a long time is because of its symbolism that clearly shows the difference in political positions between the two nominal presidents.[16] Some of the contributions are as follows: “The position of wife of the president is truly a strange one. “I am not a public figure in the strict sense, but it is difficult for me to have personal freedom as a public figure.”[17] In The Fifth Republic, he briefly appeared as Yook Young-soo . However, during Park Chung-hee's tenure, the role was small because it only came out as a flashback scene.[18] Coincidentally, the first names except the last names are the same.
