Park Chung-hee Museum Opens in Gumi
The Korean left is going to be triggered by this news:
A history museum in memory of former President Park Chung-hee will be formally opened in the southeastern city of Gumi this week, the municipal government said Monday.
The President Park Chung Hee History Museum featuring nearly 5,700 pieces of relics left behind by the former leader will be opened to the public on Tuesday, according to the municipality of Gumi, 260 kilometers southeast of Seoul.
The museum built near the late Park’s birthplace in the city will display or store 5,649 pieces of relics commissioned by the Park Chung-hee Memorial Association in 2004, it said. The opening ceremony is slated for 11 a.m. and there will be no other celebratory events in consideration of COVID-19, it added.

Excellent!
If any of this blog’s regulars happens to visit that museum, can you check how it covers Takagi Masao’s military service for the puppet government in Manchuria and his membership in the Worker’s Party of South Korea?
Every Korean living in Korea between roughly 1910 and 1945 had a Japanese name, regardless of their feelings on the subject. To suggest otherwise is a deliberate prevarication.
Similarly, your question sounds just like those of Joe McCarthy. Are you turning into a Mccarthyite? Is that your new game?
You really must cut back on those herbal remedies. It’s affecting your though processes.
I don’t do TCM as it’s not based on science. You know science, right? That’s the stuff the “scamdemic/plandemic” shouters are allergic to. Anyway, I was just having a bit of fun. Yes, everyone in Korea during that time had a Japanese name; however, not everyone had the military career nor WPSK membership Park did.
Ha!
Anybody supporting the ever-changing and constantly contradicting party line on covid while lecturing about “science” lacks self-awareness… or even awareness.
Bonus: The covid vaccine hasn’t been around long enough to collect actual science… hence Two Shots to Return to Normal Life has become Indefinate Numbers of Random Booster Regiments to See What Works…
…which, technically, is science if they secretly keep better records than they release… and stop hassling the voluntary control group.
SCAMDEMIC!!!!
Surprised commie moon didn’t squash this museum.
“however, not everyone had the military career nor WPSK membership Park did”
You are purposely ignoring how “benevolent” (yeah they murdered dissidents and kidnapped women for soldier brothels) the Japanese were in Korea. And you pretend to think Corruptocrat Rhee was as honest as the day was long. Maybe you think the KCIA was justified in attempting to kill DJ, too?
Hogwash.
Everyone of military age was in the military or prison or dead. Those who did well got good jobs and lived. Those who did poorly went to guard POW camps or bolster island defenses, mostly as construction workers.
After the war, those who served in Manchuria were influenced and organized by the communists. Same thing happened all across the US in the 30s and 40s. A lot of people woke up and rejected communism.
Unlike a certain US Navy hero in Beijing…
C’mon man, even Joey the paste-eater is smarter than you’re pretending to be…
I said nothing about Rhee so you cannot honestly say I am pretending anything about him. And I definitely am not communist.
