After Park Geun- hye lost her mother, Yuk Young-soo, she became extremely infatuated with Choi Tae-min and Choi Soon-sil, the leaders of a spiritual church.[6] , some say that if First Lady Yook Young-soo had not been assassinated by Moon Se-gwang 's bullet and had stayed alive until the late 1970s, the Park Geun-hye-Choi Soon-sil Gate would not have occurred. First Lady Yook Young-soo was the only person who could soften public opinion against the Park Chung-hee government , which was creating an atmosphere of fear through political maneuvers such as torture, kidnapping, and assassination of opposition party members and opponents . In addition, it is said that Mrs. Yook Young-soo's advice played a role in Park Chung-hee 's political sense, so considering that she was good at supporting her husband, it is possible that Mrs. Yook Young-soo was behind the long-term brinkmanship system of maintaining the power of the first person by keeping the second in command in check.
According to Jeon In-kwon's <Biography of Park Chung-hee>, Park Chung-hee may not have looked like that on the outside, but on the inside, he was very dependent on First Lady Yuk Young-soo, and was said to have become extremely weak due to the shock of her death in a terrorist attack by Moon Se-gwang, who tried to kill him. Some research results show that the greatest stress that humans experience is the trauma caused by the death of a spouse or child. According to the bodyguard's testimony, Park Chung-hee, who had quite frugal lifestyle habits for a president, became extravagant after the death of Mrs. Yuk, his drinking and smoking increased sharply, and he often sang sad songs whenever he got drunk. As a result, Park Chung-hee was swayed by people like Cha Ji-cheol , who exercised authority beyond his authority in the name of his own security, incurring complaints from those around him . However, this speculation is merely a hypothesis to explain Park Chung-hee's actions during the late Yushin regime, and there is no way to know what Park Chung-hee's psychology was like at the time.
However, even if First Lady Yuk Young-soo had not died from Moon Se-gwang's bullet during the attempted assassination of President Park Chung-hee in 1974 and survived with only a minor gunshot wound, or even if she had survived until the mid-to-late 1970s and remained as the president's spouse, some say that it would not have made much of a difference, considering that the foundation of the regime was already shaken in the late 1970s. In addition , the Yushin in October 1972, when Park Chung-hee became black in earnest, occurred during the lifetime of First Lady Yuk Young-soo. Economic growth was slowing due to the second oil shock, political pressure was beginning to build on the Park Chung-hee government due to the YH incident, and at the same time, demands for democratization were beginning to emerge, so there was a possibility that the Yushin regime would collapse in the early 1980s at the most, but at least it would not have collapsed so drastically that it would collapse suddenly under Kim Jae-gyu 's bullet.
Some believe that if First Lady Yuk Young-soo had not died from a bullet in this incident and had survived until the late 1970s when Park Chung-hee was assassinated and left the Blue House , she would have entered politics with Park Chung-hee's halo at the forefront after the Republic of Korea became democratized. If Park Chung-hee's wife, Yuk Young-soo, had still been alive at that time, she might have been able to advance into politics with Park Chung-hee's reputation.

3.1. The truth of the controversy caused by Kim Jong-pil's remarks
On November 14, 2016, when the Park Geun-hye-Choi Soon-sil scandal was in full swing, the weekly magazine Sisa Journal recorded the conversation that its executives had with Kim Jong-pil on the 3rd of the same month and published it in the form of an article. The content that received a lot of attention at the time was Kim Jong-pil's analysis that " Former President Park Geun-hye has a personality that will never follow even if 50 million people flock to force her to step down," but apart from that, there was also interesting testimony about Yuk Young-soo.
Kim Jong-pil said of First Lady Yook Young-soo, "She is just pretending to act in accordance with the name of the President's wife, but in reality, she has no consideration for others at all," and said that Yook Young-soo was a completely different person from the generally known image. As an example, Park Chung -hee cited what his wife, Park Young-ok, experienced before he became a powerful figure . Park Young-ok is the daughter of Park Chung-hee's third older brother, Park Sang-hee, who died in 1946, and Yook Young-su is her aunt, although she is only four years older. In 1951, while Kim Jong-pil was in the United States during the war , Park Young-ok gave birth to her first daughter, Yeri, and was starving because there was no rice . Yook Young-soo only fed his own family and did not even ask Park Young-ok if she had eaten. So, when Kim Jong-pil returned to Korea, Park Young-ok cried and told the story, and Kim Jong-pil, who was angry, asked Mrs. Yook Young-soo, "How could you do that to your niece, not even a stranger?"
However, Kim Jong-pil, who was actually interviewed, said that he would take legal action, saying, "He came to visit me as a person from his hometown and we just jokingly exchanged stories that were popular in the market. However, I secretly recorded him, distorted and exaggerated it, and made a despicable article and published it in my newspaper." # Editor-in-Chief Park Young-cheol of Sisa Journal, who wrote the article, responded to an interview by Media Today, a media criticism magazine , and explained, "I conveyed the story to the readers as we exchanged stories when we met." #
According to Kim Jong-pil's claim, Kim Jong-pil was stabbed in the back by someone from his hometown whom he had known for a long time, but legally, Sisa Journal's actions are not a problem. And it is difficult to imagine that a man of the caliber of Kim Jong-pil, a soldier and politician who has experienced many hardships throughout his life , believes the editor-in-chief and CEO of Korea's leading weekly magazine, believing the obvious pretense of "I am bored with this impeachment situation, so please tell me the story of Park Chung-hee," and suddenly reveals everything according to his mood as a native of his hometown.
Moreover, the fact that he said he was joking about a story that was widely circulated in the market is very suspicious. It means that he was making jokes about Park Geun-hye, Park Jung-hee, and Kim Jong-pil's own first wife, Park Young-ok. Although Kim Jong-pil's political moves may be controversial, he is famous for having very good family relationships, especially the relationship between the couple. However, it is contradictory to say that he joked with his wife, who he had been on good terms with all his life and who had already passed away, with very tragic content rather than bright and cheerful content.
In particular, the excuse that he casually told the story of Park Chung-hee, who was closer to him than anyone else in terms of political as well as blood ties, is also nonsensical. This is especially true considering that Kim Jong-pil was the main character who had been active in the forefront of politics throughout his life and had met and interviewed countless reporters. As a result, he was an extremely seasoned politician who knew the physiology of the press and reporting better than anyone else. This is either Kim Jong-pil telling a lie (that is, the explanation 'I was joking about a story that was widely spread in the market' is false) or Kim Jong-pil himself admitting to being a terrible hypocrite , but considering the circumstances, the former is much more likely. So, there is an interpretation that Kim Jong-pil used Sisa Journal in reverse. In other words, he tried to avoid the repercussions of his remarks by saying that he was 'deceived' and 'used' by secretly bringing up a sensitive story in this way. Avoiding responsibility for remarks of sensitive content in this way is a method frequently used by other politicians. This is a very likely interpretation, especially considering that it was not off the record .
Afterwards, Media Today explained in an article explaining this incident, "Kim Jong-pil will not be able to sue the reporter," and commented, "This is a way for an old politician to play with the media." #
I Want to Know That broadcasted the 'President's Secret' episode on November 19, 2016 , and announced that it would receive reports from people who knew about Park Chung-hee and Yuk Young-soo, a couple who lived in Busan and Daegu between 1951 and 1952. However, depending on this content, content that will determine the authenticity of Kim Jong-pil's interview may be broadcast. However, given that the content has not been broadcast for over a year, it appears that no significant testimony or evidence has been secured.
In the midst of chaos due to the Park Geun-hye-Choi Soon-sil scandal and Kim Jong-pil's remarks, Chungcheongbuk-do on November 29, 2016 At Yook Young-soo's birthplace in Okcheon-gun , a ritual called Sungmoje was held to commemorate Yook Young-soo's birthday, but the conflict between conservative and progressive civic groups resulted in complete chaos. It is said that there was a lot of shouting and swearing at each other, and even the people watching did not know what to do. video
An interview with Ms. Yuk's nephew Hong Jeong-ja was published in the January 2017 issue of Monthly Chosun , and he claimed that Kim Jong-pil's story mentioned above was a lie. Link However, the person who claimed in the article should be read with the fact that Park Geun-hye did nothing wrong and was just a person who was innocently exploited by Choi Tae-min's family.
4. digression
- When her husband, Park Chung-hee, died in a sniper incident during his term as the 8th president of the Republic of Korea , the position of spouse of the 9th president of the Republic of Korea became vacant, and the position was replaced by her eldest daughter, former President Park Geun-hye, who was studying abroad at the time.
- He is the only spouse of a president who died while in office.[7]
- During the establishment of the Republic of Korea government in 1948 and the constitution, this is the only first lady of the Republic of Korea to have been assassinated by an assassin . And five years later, her husband, Park Chung-hee, was assassinated by a subordinate who, like her, was the head of the Central Intelligence Agency, making it the only case under the Constitution of the Republic of Korea to date where both husband and wife were shot by an assassin. In addition, it is the only first lady of the President of the Republic of Korea to have received a state funeral to date. Ms. Yuk Young-soo, who held a state funeral in 1974, is the first and only First Lady of the Republic of Korea's current President since the establishment and constitution of the government.
- At 170cm tall, she is the tallest among the spouses of South Korean presidents .[8] As of 2018, the average height of Korean adult women is 161.4cm, and even now, if a woman is 170cm, she is considered quite tall . Considering that the average height of Korean women born in the 1920s was about 150-151 cm, 170 cm at the time was considered a giant. At that time, most women's volleyball players on the national team had a physique like this. She was taller than her husband, Park Chung-hee.[9] However, his children did not inherit Yuk Young-soo's tall height. The eldest daughter Park Geun-hye's height was 162cm, which was slightly taller than the average for her age group, the second daughter Park Geun-ryeong was 158cm, which was the average height at the time, and the eldest son Park Ji-man was also not that tall, around 160cm. For this reason, it is said that when a couple attended an event together, the event organizers took care to make Yuk Young-soo look even a little shorter. However, Park Chung-hee had no intention of appearing taller, so he did not wear high-heeled shoes or insoles, and at one point, the organizers even threw away the thick cushion that had been placed on Park Chung-hee's chair. It seems that he had no particular idea about height or thought that being short would help create a political image. Additionally, it is said that Park Chung-hee's ideal type was a woman who was tall and had a long face. But even taking that into account, Yuk Young-soo at the time was a woman with the height of a giant. He was taller than the average male height of 164cm at the time, and Lee Myung-bak , who was said to be tall in his own way, was 173cm. For reference, Lee Myung-bak's older brother Lee Sang-deuk and Lee Sang-soo were well over 180 cm tall, so they would have been treated as giants of their time, just like First Lady Yuk Young-soo. In President Lee Myung-bak's autobiography, there is a line in which he regrets that his older brothers are much older than him. In any case, Park Chung-hee ended up marrying someone who suited her ideal type very well.
- Once upon a time, “ Jeong-hee and Yeong-su live in a blue tile-roofed house , who is male and who is female?”[10] , “What if the president and his wife’s fights were reduced to three letters?” The same joke was going around. The correct answer to the latter is “hand-to-hand combat.” Jeon Yoo-seong, who first came up with and used this joke, was immediately suspended from appearing for three months, the program was abolished, and the producer in charge was taken to the Central Intelligence Agency and reportedly put to death. In fact, Park Chung-hee and Yuk Young-soo are said to have heard this joke from the stewardess on the presidential plane , and unlike the treatment given to the program and PD, they are said to have clapped and laughed out loud when they heard this joke. It is said that Park Chung-hee was the type of person who accepted jokes well, even if they were joked in front of him . # Jeon Yoo-seong made this gag when he appeared in singer Yoon Hyeong-ju 's <Dial at 0 O'Clock>. It is said that the older sister that Yoon Hyeong-ju knew, Choi Eun-ja, was a stewardess on the presidential plane, and that she told this to Park Chung-hee and was subsequently oppressed as described above. Later, Jeon Yoo-seong said in his book <Life is Enjoyable with a Little Cowardice> that that incident made him realize that "the world is truly a fierce battle!" According to Yoon Hyeong-ju's recollection , at the time, the broadcasting company had a coordinator dispatched from the Central Intelligence Agency who censored each and every broadcast comment. While talking about Heungbu and Nolbu, when the comment "The swallow took Mr. Park away" came out, he pointed out, "Why Mr. Park ? Isn't there some ulterior motive ?"
- All dramas that were popular in the 1970s Choi Bul-am, who played the role of the head of the investigation team, made him cut down on the number of cigarettes he smoked in the play . For an episode about this, refer to Choi Bul-am’s article.
- Roh Moo-hyun The legal name of the former president 's wife , Kwon Yang -sook , is 'Daedeok-hwa', the same as First Lady Yuk Young-soo.
- He is the first to be famous among the spouses of Korea. Francesca Donner , the first presidential spouse, on March 19, 1992, Gongdeok -gu (Yoon Bo -sun) was on November 24, 1997, Hong Ki (Choi Kyu -ha) was on July 20, 2004, Lee Hee -ho (Kim Dae -jung) was on June 10, 2019, and Son Myung -soon (Kim Young -sam) was the most recent of March 7, 2024. It was also the shortest of all presidents' spouses and doubled the oldest Lee Hee -ho (96 -year -old). Husband Park Chung -hee was also the shortest of all presidents.
- The name is like a male name. Like Cheolsu , it is a representative name for boys in elementary school textbooks. The girl is Younghee . As a result, during the wedding, the emcee made the mistake of swapping the names of the bride and groom. In addition, Jeonghee is often used as a female name.
- A portrait of First Lady Yuk Young-soo, the wife of the 5th to 8th presidents, hangs on the wall of the Rose of Sharon room in the main building of the Blue House, which was used as the president's wife's office and reception room. Dong-A Ilbo (May 26, 2022, bottom of article in Culture section): Piano in front of the president’s bedroom, sauna in the bathroom… Blue skin revealed after 32 years.
- In 2021 and 2024, President Yoon Seok- yeol visited First Lady Yuk Young-soo's birthplace in Okcheon-gun .

[1] Okcheon Yuk clan village.[2] She was the shortest-lived of all presidential spouses , and the only one whose life ended in murder .[3] 24th generation, Su (洙), Su (修) , Sun (淳), Yeong (永) generations.[4] She is the tallest among the spouses of South Korean presidents . Coincidentally, former President Park Chung-hee was the shortest male president.[5] Her legal name is the same as Kwon Yang-sook , the spouse of former President Roh Moo-hyun . For reference, all of the children are Protestant , except for former President Park Geun-hye , who is not religious .[6] Former Republican Party Chairman Shin Dong-wook, husband of Park Geun -hye 's younger sister Park Geun-ryeong, said in an interview with TV Chosun that First Lady Yook Young-soo had advised President Park Geun-hye to "stay away from Choi Tae-min" during her lifetime . If this is true, it means that there has already been some kind of relationship between former President Park Geun-hye and Choi Tae-min since the time First Lady Yook Young-soo was alive. According to the testimony of Choi Tae-min's son in < I Want to Know > on November 26, 2016, Choi Tae-min was said to have been in and out of the Blue House even before First Lady Yuk Young-soo was alive . I found an article in a weekly magazine at the time that Choi Tae-min entered the Blue House in 1972, and it states that Mrs. Yook Young-soo became curious after seeing a hypnotism demonstration on TV and called Choi Tae-min to demonstrate in person.[7] Aside from Yook Young-soo, the only presidential spouse who died before her husband was Hong-ki (President: Choi Kyu-ha ), who died two years earlier. Hong-ki died in 2004, 23 years after Choi Kyu-ha resigned.[8] Ms. Kim Ok- sook is also tied for first place with a height of 170 cm. The second tallest first lady of all time is Kim Hye-kyung, who is slightly shorter than Yuk Young-soo at 169 cm. However, Kim Hye-kyung was born in 1966 and Mrs. Yook Young-soo was born in 1925, so Kim Hye-kyung is the granddaughter of Yook Young-soo.[9] For reference, former President Park Chung-hee is 164 cm tall, making him the second-shortest among all presidents. Considering that Park Geun-hye, the shortest daughter and the shortest president, is a woman and at 162cm, taller than the average born in 1952, she is indeed the shortest among male presidents.[10] As will be explained later, this is a drip based on the fact that Jeonghee is usually used for a female name and Yeongsu is usually used for a male name.[11] From March 1999 to October 2009, the predecessor of the MBC radio drama < Turbulent 50 Years >.[12] Due to the nature of the drama, it deals with the 10.26 incident and Chun Doo- hwan's time in office, so it appears briefly in the first episode in a flashback format. ##[13] However, he was portrayed quite differently from the real Yuk Young-soo.
