Chun Doo-hwan's family |
They have three sons and one daughter, and actress Park Sang-ah is the second daughter-in-law of Chun Doo-hwan and Lee Soon-ja. In other words, she is the wife of the second son, Jeon Jae- yong , and this is Jeon Jae-yong's third marriage.[12] It was a tightrope marriage for Chun Doo-hwan, so there was a lot of talk about it in many ways. At the time, Lee Soon-ja's father, Lee Gyu-dong , was a general (Army Headquarters Accountant General, Brigadier General), and Chun Doo-hwan was his exclusive adjutant.

Supporting Chun Doo-hwan and First Lady Lee Soon-ja Daegu Metropolitan City National Sports Festival |
Since the establishment of the Korean government, there is no presidential spouse who has been influential by actively intervening in politics and society as Lee Soon -ja. For this reason, he caused various political scandals and worked most active during his husband's tenure.[15]
Yi Soon -ja had several nicknames, but it was called "Ms." . After delivering the news of Chun Doo -hwan at KBS 1TV's 9 o'clock news and MBC News Desk , which was also called the anchovy of the news, he was nicknamed Lee Soon -ja's news .
At the time, public opinion about Yi Sun -ja was very bad, but the media under Chun Doo -hwan could not report it properly. So, at the time, the people of Korea were President Philippine, who was driven by People Power He also criticized Yi Soon -ja indirectly in a way that criticized the spouse of Ferdinand Marcos, Imelda Marcos , and the joke of making a dog's name as a Sunja. ( Case[16] ) It is similar to the Song Dynasty's fear of the Yuan Dynasty and not criticizing Chinggis Khan himself . In addition, the role of "Sunja" in the broadcast at that time was said to be prevented from playing a humble role.
After the June Uprising in 1987, her husband, Chun Doo-hwan, left office and his absolute power disappeared, and his wife, Lee Sun-ja's situation became sad. As the wife of the second-in-command under Chun Doo-hwan, the attitude of Roh Tae-woo's wife, Kim Ok-sook, who did not act like an older brother to Lee Soon-ja, who was four years younger than her, but treated each other with respect and was friendly, also changed quite a bit. There is also an anecdote that when they met as husband and wife at the 11th Military Academy meeting at the end of 1987 to celebrate Roh Tae-woo's election as president, Kim Ok-sook, who became the 13th first lady, jokingly said to Lee Sun-ja's face, " Unlike the other people who were elected through the gymnasium election , our So-young's father was elected by the national referendum." It is not true that Kim Ok-sook called Lee Soon-ja 'brother', but in any case, it can be seen that she could not deny that she viewed 'Jae-guk's mother' much lower than before. It is said that Lee Soon-ja just laughed it off when she heard this and had no choice but to realize the changes in the world.

Yi Sun-ja and Chun Doo-hwan lived in seclusion at Baekdamsa Temple. |
During the Roh Tae-woo administration , Lee Soon-ja and Chun Doo-hwan were exiled together to Baekdamsa Temple for about two years from November 1988 to December 1990 as part of the liquidation of the Fifth Republic . When they got into the car to leave for exile at Baekdamsa Temple, Lee Soon-ja covered her face with both hands and cried bitterly. This is also recalled as the most appropriate example of the saying, " power does not last ten years." In an interview with the Chosun Ilbo after her husband Chun Doo-hwan's death in 2022, she said that she cried so bitterly that Chun Doo-hwan, who was the person involved, consoled her. It makes sense, as Lee Soon-ja must have felt complicated about leaving Jeon Jae -man, who was in his third year of high school, behind at the in- laws' house of Jeon Jae-gook and Jeon Hyo-sun , who were already married at the time , and leaving her youngest son Jeon Jae-man, who was about to enter college. At the time, Jeon Jae- yong was studying abroad in Japan.

1998 at the Blue House Dinner Son Myeong-soon, Lee Soon-ja, Lee Hee-ho, Kim Ok-suk |
In 1998, Baekdamsa was invited by Kim Dae -jung , and four former presidents Choi Kyu -ha , Chun Doo -hwan , Roh Tae -woo , and Kim Young -sam were in the Blue House dinner. At the time , except for Choi Kyu -ha's wife, Hong -gi , Kim Ok -sook , Son Myung -soon , and Lee Hee -ho also gathered in one place. The picture records of Yi Soon -ja and Son Myung -soon seemed to be embarrassed in many ways, such as not eye -catching each other. It is compared to Kim Ok -sook and Lee Hee -ho, who showed a relatively strong appearance next to him.
My husband, Chun Doo -hwan, who survived for over 30 years after he came down from the president's position, died on November 23, 2021. Afterwards, Lee Sun -ja expressed his apology for the first time instead of Chun Doo -hwan, saying, "I want to apologize for those who have suffered and hurt my husband during his husband's tenure." However, it was unclear what this is an apology for, and there was no mention of the May 18 Democratization Movement , and most of all, after that remarks, the survivors were criticized for being "15 seconds apologies."
Even after her husband Chun Doo -hwan's death, Yi Soon -ja was very healthy than her age. Chun Doo -hwan's best friend Roh Tae -woo and his wife Kim Ok -sook are in contrast to their unhealthy appearance after retirement.

Kim Geon-hee and Lee Soon-ja |
2022 Yoon Seok -yeol When Kim Gun -hee , who became a presidential spouse with the inauguration of the president , came to prevent him, he exchanged virtue and showed a strong appearance.
If Yoon Seok -yeol, who was attending the Seoul National University College of Law during the Chun Doo -hwan administration , held a mock trial on the suppression of the 5.18 democratization movement , he sentenced Chun Doo -hwan to imprisonment and received a nomination and escaped to Gangwon -do .
On March 16, 2023, his grandson, Jeon Woo -won, insisted that he was fighting for the second breast cancer in the KakaoTalk message sent to persuade his grandson when he caused a Chun Doo -hwan's grandson exposure . However, it is not known whether it is true because it is just a claim without a certificate or certificate. # However, before the revelation of Jeon Woo -won, he informed him of breast cancer.[17]
On May 10, 2023, he criticized his ex-daughter-in-law, Jeon Woo-won's mother, saying, "I don't know what purpose a person who received a huge amount of property as alimony and divorced in 2007 is driving my sick son to death." It is also said that he sent a text message to Comrade Woo-won, who sent a text message criticizing him, saying, 'You tarnished my grandfather's face' and 'You (comrade Woo-won), who wasn't even born at the time of May 18, should not go out of your way and take care of the work that falls to you.' Source: However, despite sending a KakaoTalk message containing the meaning of reprimand and isolation to the grandson, Jeon Woo-won, Kakao Talk with PD Notebook officials If you look at the message conversation , you can see that Lee Soon-ja said, "Even if Woo-won talks nonsense, I endure it even though he suffers because he is my blood relative," and "(former daughter-in-law's) sick son." He probably lost his temper in a moment of rage and said something out of anger. In other words, it became difficult to restore the relationship after the incident, but it does not seem to have been completely abandoned, whether due to the affection cultivated or the affection of blood relatives. This is a slightly different case from the case in which Jeon Jae- guk , Lee Soon-ja 's eldest son , sent an isolated text message directly to his nephew Jeon Woo-won.[18]
Later, he left Yeonhui -dong's home due to his grandson's exposure, and on August 16, 2023, he appeared with his eldest son Jeon Jae -guk for a long time.

3. evaluation
3.1. eccentricity
My husband, Chun Doo -hwan , was as bad as his husband . Most of them were hateful that their name and appearance were ridiculously highlighted, and when they climbed to the position of the power, they suppressed it. However, there is a case of Lee Soon -ja's own trip, but it is also an over -loyalty case that broadcasters such as Lee Won -hong, president of KBS and MBC president Lee Jin -hee , who noticed the powers, were not able to lie down .
A typical example was the ban on the release of the film. The film, which was dramatic, opened Sunjaya Gate, and was scheduled to be released at the end of 1979. However, the film has not been able to screen properly on the screen and disappeared. Even though it was a 19 -gold film starring Eunmak's great star Shin Sung -il, it was purely one of the titles that the film suddenly disappeared from the theater. At this time, Chun Doo -hwan was the chief power who was the chief power of the country as a commander of the ROK Security Commander and a joint investigation head of the 10.26 case.[19] It was the release of the film's release, which was judged to be called the name of the best real power.
Of course, the film industry, of course, blocked the life of a entertainer who had been fine in the music and gag worlds. In the 1980s , male singer Kim Hyun -joon , who sang "My Life is Mine", and Shim Soo -bong , who were the evidence of the scene during the 10.26 incident , and the comedian Kim Myung -deok, who made their debut through the MBC gagman contest in 1981, were victims of Lee Soon -ja.
Kim Hyun -joon originally wanted to debut in 1979 under his real name 'Kim Chul'. The problem was that the debut song was the OST of the film, "Open the Sunjaya Gate," and even the title of the song was <Open Sunja -ya Gate> as the title of the movie. The reason why the film was broadcasted in the yard where the movie was floated without sound rumors, and the song was designated as a forbidden song . Kim Chul, who debuted, was able to resume his activity only after he was named Kim Hyun -joon.
Shim Soo-bong included the song <Sunja's Autumn>, which he made as the theme song for the 1979 KBS radio drama <Women's Theater>, on his comeback album in 1980, but it was suddenly banned. The reason was the same as the previous case of Kim Hyun-jun, “he recklessly mentioned the first lady’s Hamza.” In the end, the song was passed on to junior singer Bang Mi after the title was slightly changed to <I'll Love You This Fall> and it became a huge hit. Won first place in the top 10 music charts (Golden Cup) for 5 consecutive weeks from the third week of November to the third week of December 1983 .
Unlike Kim Hyun-jun and Shim Soo-bong, who were banned from their activities because they sang a song with the name 'Sunja' in the title, Kim Myeong-deok was unfairly banned from appearing on broadcasts solely because of his appearance. Kim Myeong-deok, who attracted attention with his agile movements, also gained popularity for his chiseled appearance, but was suddenly banned from appearing on broadcasts. The reason was that she had the same chiseled chin face as the first lady. For reference, Joo-il Lee and actor Yong-sik Park, who were the kings of the comedy world at the time , were also banned from appearing on broadcasts around the same time, because both of them had bald heads . However, unlike Lee Joo-il, who was revived brilliantly thanks to Chun Doo-hwan's direct comment, "Why isn't that funny guy appearing these days?", Park Yong-sik was unable to appear properly on broadcasts and suffered a lot, only returning to the screen properly after Chun Doo-hwan's retirement.
In fact, until the pre-modern era, in the East, the names of emperors and kings could not be used without permission, and it was common to use them as secrets . However, to do something like this, even though it was not the era of the monarchy, was definitely an eccentric and excessive act that went beyond common sense.

3.2. land speculation suspicion
It was a lot of jigsaw that it was the culprit that caused the wind of Gangnam land using relatives .
Seoul Metropolitan City since the 1970s It is a nickname that was given to the speculative site of Gangnam -gu in 'red pants'. There are also cases of Mokdong New Town Apartment , which broke the 5 million houses of common people because of the 1988 Seoul Olympics .

3.3. cartoon oppression
"Manga is to see kids," he said .
In the 1980s, terrestrial broadcasting of giant robot animations was almost wiped out.[20] According to rumors, there is a theory that Lee Soon-ja ordered the giant robot animation to be rejected because it was violent. In fact, if you look at the imported animations aired in Korea during the 5th Revolution, many truly sound works, such as Japanese animations such as World Masterpiece Theater, were aired in dubbed versions.
But later, his son, Jeon Jae -guk, manages a contractor publishing graphic noble .

3.4. Related to the 5.18 Democratization Movement
On March 23, 2017, a book titled You Are Not Lonely was published, and the table of contents refers to her husband, Chun Doo-hwan, and is full of defense of Chun Doo-hwan.[21] "Chun Doo-hwan's coup was a selfless coup", "My wife and I are also victims of the May 18 incident ", " Choi Gyu-ha Public opinion boiled over in criticism as it contained remarks such as " The former president actually asked my husband to take over as successor president."
At the same publishing company, her husband, Chun Doo-hwan, also published a memoir consisting of three volumes and a total of 2,000 pages. Memoirs of Chun Doo-hwan
On January 1, 2019, ahead of Chun Doo-hwan's trial scheduled for January 7, she made a controversial statement saying, " My husband is the father of democracy in the Republic of Korea." The basis for such a claim is that Chun Doo-hwan is the first one-term president. However, the single-term system has nothing to do with democracy.[22] Exactly four years and three months after this outrageous statement came out, when his grandson Jeon Woo-won visited Gwangju to apologize for the May 18 Democratization Movement, he quoted this outrageous statement targeting his grandmother. To be precise, after visiting the May 18 National Cemetery, he wrote the following in the guestbook.

The true fathers of democracy are all those buried here.Jeon Woo-won
4. etc
- She is the first lady who is currently alive.[23]
- Lee Kyu -won in the 1980s KBS announcer seemed to have a willingness to say that Yi Sun -ja's nephew. Even colleagues also believed the rumors and said, "Be externally denied." But in reality, there is no blood relationship at all, and Lee Kyu -won has never seen Yi Sun -ja. According to Lee Kyu -won's announcer, the cause of the rumors is that "the castle is the same as Lee and there is a similar part somewhere." Interviews and even the two are also south -south. Yi Sun -ja is Seongju Lee , Lee Kyu -won is Yang Sung -yi .
- She is the first presidential spouse of Korean descent to be born abroad . His father, Lee Gyu-dong, graduated from Bongcheon Military Academy and worked as an accounting officer in the Manchurian army, and he was born there. For reference, the first and only president born abroad to date is Lee Myung-bak , and the spouse of a president born abroad and naturalized in Korea is Francesca Donner from Austria .
- Although I was born in Shinkyeong, Manchuria , and spent most of my childhood in Seoul , I speak a bit of the Yeongnam dialect , probably because I lived with my father, Gyu-dong Lee , and my husband, Doo-hwan Chun , who were from Gyeongsang-do. In addition, since there was frequent exchange between people in the Yeongnam region, it appears that he was influenced by them.
- As my husband was always close to Roh Tae-woo , a fellow student at the Korea Military Academy , I naturally became close to Roh Tae-woo's first wife, Kim Ok- sook. Therefore, even though Kim Ok-sook was 4 years older than Lee Soon-ja, Lee Soon-ja treated her poorly, and First Lady Kim Ok-sook called Lee Soon-ja 'brother'. After Kim Ok-sook became first lady, her title for Lee Soon-ja changed to ' Jae-guk's mother', and there was even a widely known erroneous theory that she belatedly got angry. Lee Soon-ja said, "This is not true at all. How can you treat someone who is 4 years older than me with disdain? We treated each other with respect." He denied and corrected his brother’s theory. Rather, just as the husbands were friends, the wives also 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. Of course, it is not uncommon for military wives to be ranked according to rank, but since Chun Doo-hwan and Roh Tae-woo were best friends, even giving rank insignia in private, it is more likely that Lee Soon-ja and Kim Ok-sook were of equal status.[24]
- At the time of the decision to drop out of Ewha Womans University, Lee Soon -ja was married and stabilized Chun Doo -hwan and went to another university. # Then he was stimulated by the development of his children and husbands and registered with Yonsei University Language Institute in 1978 and started studying English. Unfortunately, after the end of the day, the following year, I will pass the Korean University of Foreign Language and English University (Hankuk University of Foreign Studies ). But as Chun Doo -hwan took office as president that year, Yi Soon -ja gave up registered. #
- According to his grandson, Jeon Woo -won, he praised Chun Doo -hwan in the house and often said, "Your grandfather is the father of democracy." However, unlike Chun Doo -hwan, who emphasized the military spirit even to his family, even when Jeon Woo -won exposed his family's corruption, he was wrapped in "Woowon is my baby." After the revelation of Jeon Woo -won, he attempted to contact him through his brother -in -law, but the fearful Jeon Woo -won did not receive it, and the Jeon Woo -won who returned home did not face Lee's health problems. Also, as Jeon Woo -won admitted, when he saw the remarks such as "I sold gold and sent a prestigious university" in the original text of the katok, I sponsored my father and a new mother, and when my mother went to Japan to persuade Jeon Jae -yong, who started wandering immediately after the birth of Chun Doo -hwan, I handed Jeon Woo -won. I raised it. Of course, when the grandson continued to expose, he was furious and sent a long katok, but it seems to be close to being excited. Jeon Woo -won also said, "My grandmother may be another victim of grandfather. At least, as much as the grandmother, he said," I don't want to worship and apologize for the mangwol -dong democratic cemetery . " article
- The sister-in-law is equipped with a super luxurious screen golf course, and it is said that about 10 maids were hired. Related content
- As a representative owner of a jutted chin , Lee Soon-ja's chin was often used as a subject of satire when Chun Doo-hwan was in power. Heredity was so strong that many of her chiseled chins were passed down to her children and grandchildren.[25] Meanwhile, it was reported on a KBS current affairs program in 2004 that Lee Soon-ja underwent cosmetic surgery around 2000 to add filler to the edge of her chin to make her sharp jaw line look rounder. #
- For an old man, he is quite sane. Perhaps that's why he uses a smartphone and is a KakaoTalk user. Considering that older people in this age group have difficulty typing messages and do not know how to write in lines without spaces, put dots or dots where spaces are required, or use English letters, they write very coherently, are good at inputting Korean letters, the alphabet, and numbers, and tend to spell accurately for their age.
- The voice is very high and loud. Perhaps that's why he has a voice that is quite young for his age.

[1] February 4th of the lunar calendar .[2] A 25-generation descendant of the Miljigong faction, he was named ○Hyeon (○鉉) and ○Seok (○錫), but did not use the characters ○Hyeon (○鉉) and ○Seok (○錫). ( Genealogy )[3] However, his younger brother Lee Chang -seok (李昌, 1951.12.4.) He wrote ○ Seok (○ 錫) , a names .[4] However, since her older sister passed away shortly after she was born, it is safe to say that she is actually the eldest daughter.[5] As part of the 5th public hearing, he lived with Chun Doo -hwan for two years from November 1988. #[6] The daughter of Lee Hwa -gu.[7] Here, the first son is Yi Sun-ja, who is 12 years younger than him, and Lee Chang-seok , who is 20 years younger than his brother-in-law Chun Doo-hwan.[8] This is a similar case to Kim Woo -jung.[9] At the time, a girl with excellent grades was a natural course to go to Seoul National University or Ewha Womans University through Gyeonggi Girls 'Middle School-Gyeonggi Girls' High School. The boys are Gyeonggi Middle School, Gyeonggi High School , and Seoul National University. This is also known as KS Mark.[10] The reason why the marriage ban was established in the late Joseon Dynasty The school was founded by American female missionaries to save young girls from forced early marriages , but was abolished in 2003 for being anachronistic and violating equal rights. #[11] Coincidentally, actress Kim Hye-ja also dropped out of Ewha Womans University due to the same school rule prohibiting marriage as Lee Soon-ja . However, Lee Soon-ja definitely dropped out before getting married, so her case is quite different from Kim Hye-ja, who passed the KBS talent audition in 1961 while still a student, got married during training, and dropped out of Ewha Womans University.[12] Jeon Jae-yong's first wife was Park Kyeong-ah, the daughter of POSCO Park Tae-jun, and his second wife was Jeon Woo-won's biological mother, Choi Jeong-ae.[13] It is a security commander when the third tunnel, which is the background of the 3rd Tunnel (1978), was found in the Blue House guard room and was found in the first division . Lee Se -ho at the time Army Chief of Staff (2 Yuksa) Chae Myung -shin's first Korean military commander, the second commander of the South Korean military commander, and later became the Army Chief of Staff . When he interviewed the former president , he asked the Security Commander to get off as a director . Originally, Chun Doo -hwan was a general manager, so he could not go to the Security Commander, a long -term position, but he went to the Security Commander of the Mo, the chief of the army chief Lee Se -ho, and faced the 10.26 case.[14] At the time, Hirohito admitted a speech at the dinner party attended by Chun Doo -hwan and Yi Soon -ja, and at the same time, he admitted that Japan had a mistake in Korea, and at the same time expressed his apology for the mistake and decided to be a friendly relationship. This was the first time in Japan that Japan apologized to Korea. At this time , Empress Koh did not attend for health reasons.[15] After Lee Soon-ja, the presidential spouses who engaged in active external activities include Lee Hee-ho , the spouse of Kim Dae-jung , and Kim Geon-hee, the spouse of Yoon Seok-yeol . However, compared to Lee Soon-ja, whose activities expanded after she went from being a full-time housewife to becoming the president's spouse, Lee Hee-ho is different in that she was an influential women's activist even before marrying Kim Dae-jung, and Kim Geon-hee was already active as a businesswoman and part-time university professor even before Yoon Seok-yeol's political influence grew. was doing[16] In this case, the defendant was found not guilty because the defendant was charged with 'defamation of Chun Doo-hwan'. This is a precedent that shows that 'defamation of the victim's family is not defamation of the victim'.[17] In fact, Lee Soon -ja is not strange as he is old.[18] In fact, considering that he was an old man who commonly said that blood relationship is heavenly, it is highly likely that he thought of him as his grandson no matter what. If you look at the text above, it is a reprimand, but it does not say anything like severing ties or telling you not to come back.[19] In fact, the name 'Sunja' was very common from the 1940s and 1970s. It was proof that the name of Sunja appeared in the top ranking of the girl's name at this time.[20] Hapshin Sentai Mechander Robo became a hit after the Roh Tae-woo administration came into office, and it benefited from being aired like rain during the drought of terrestrial broadcasting of these giant robots.[21] Less than two weeks after the publication of this book, Chun Doo-hwan's memoirs were published. In fact, the couple wrote their memoirs at the same time in order to present their memoirs and sophistry about their lives.[22] The US president alone was elected for four consecutive terms, Germany's former Chancellor Angela Merkel was in power for 16 years, Britain 's former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was in power for 11 years, and Finland 's Urho Kekkonen was in power for 11 years. The former president ruled for a long period of time. It seems to be referring to the fact that during the 8th constitutional amendment, several measures were created to prevent Chun Doo-hwan himself from remaining in power for life (deleting many toxic provisions of the Yushin Constitution, a single 7-year presidential term system, and amending the constitution to a consecutive term system would have no effect on the president at the time) and that he stepped down through the June 29 Declaration . Democracy does not come from preventing long-term rule, but from establishing a system that faithfully reflects the will of the people and a checking mechanism to prevent dictatorship. Even if we cite examples such as the 5.17 Civil War , 5.18 Democratization Movement , maintenance of the right to dissolve the National Assembly , de facto one-party dictatorship, National Senior Advisory Council , Samcheong Education University , 4.13 Constitutional Protection Measures , and her attempt to seize nomination rights as party president and act as king through cabinet system amendments, Lee Soon-ja's argument is not persuasive. The reason why Park Chung-hee is called a dictator is because of the unfair method of taking power such as the May 16 Military Coup and the suppression of freedom during the Yushin era, and not simply because of his long-term rule. Even though Park Chung-hee came to power through a coup, he was elected through direct elections by the people three times from the 5th to the 7th presidential elections , and the gymnasium elections that are commonly thought of were limited to the 8th and 9th presidential elections .[23] In terms of age alone, the oldest First Lady is Kim Ok-sook , the spouse of the 13th President Roh Tae-woo .[24] Many cartoons at the time portrayed Roh Tae-woo calling Chun Doo-hwan "brother," but the public perceived Chun Doo-hwan, who led the coup and took power first, as being an iron-fisted dictator, as having the upper hand between the two. In fact, it is true that Chun Doo-hwan was one year older than him and was number one for a long time, but apart from that, the two were classmates in the military service and were friends who spoke comfortably with each other. Even during the famous fried egg Q&A, you can see that Chun Doo-hwan and Roh Tae-woo talk to each other by calling each other “ you .”[25] Perhaps that's why Jeon Woo-won had surgery to correct his jaw since he was young.
