Now that Park Geun-hye's conviction has been finalized, the conservative media is predictably going all-out in the call for pardons for her and other convicted ex-president Lee Myung-bak http://www.mediatoday.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=211457&fbclid=IwAR1abhoyVekfLjFSpw3Dv-VjA7bf4oa2yw4J30ZgAATIXhzxjzntTxTa94w

Chosun Ilbo- 'The two ex-presidents have faced sufficient political and legal consequences'

Joongang Ilbo- 'Concerns re. national dignity due to their imprisonment are growing'

Donga Ilbo- 'Pardons should not be viewed based on opinion polls'

President Moon Jae-in will give his start of year press conference on Monday, where he will no doubt get asked about the pardons. Will be interesting to see his response

A good thread on what happened the last time unrepentant ex-presidents were pardoned in the name of 'unity' https://mobile.twitter.com/YangJinChun1/status/1350235018996686861
