Editor's Take:
Park Geun-hye entered politics carrying her father's legacy. To some he was the architect of South Korea's economic rise; to others he was a dictator. As President she was undone by a scandal involving a close friend's influence over state affairs. Huge candlelit protests filled Seoul for weeks. The Constitutional Court removed her from office. She was later jailed, then pardoned in 2021. Her fall showed the strength of South Korea's democracy.
