Didn’t have to wait long for some moaning about the decision to remove Park Chung-hee’s calligraphy from the Kwanghwamun gate. This Joongang Daily (English edition) editorial has a good old whine about how there must be political motivations behind the move and links it to the government’s recent decision to release documents relating to Park’s normalisation negotiations with the Japanese in the 1960s (see previous post). It’s obviously all part of an evil North Korean conspiracy to discredit the leader of the opposition Grand National Party, Park Keun-hye (who also just happens to be the daughter of Park Chung-hee).
