Traditionally, a propitious site is determined by having a mountain in the back (north) surrounded by other mountains in the east and west and facing water in the front (south). Scholars of feng shui have mentioned the location of Cheong Wa Dae, the Korean presidential residence and royal palace, sheds negative energy for the leaders of the nation. They died young or were dethroned for various reasons. If we look back on the 1392-1910 Joseon Kingdom, only seven out of 27 crown princes, the eldest sons, succeeded to the throne. It is certain that complicated factors have caused the national leaders' tragic endings. Some may even blame national traits of the Korean people. Socialists might think the rapid development of modern Korea would have resulted in such unstable political situations. What could be the motivatation then?

The next four terms were led by Park Chung-hee. ![]() The fourth president, Yun Bo-seon was also removed from office by the May 16 military coup d'etat. Then he went to Hawaii for asylum and stayed there for the rest of his life until 1965. The first Korean presidency started in 1948 with the election of President Rhee Syngman who served three consecutive terms until he stepped down in 1960 over the people's furious revolution against his fradulent elections. * Collect lost letters and other correspondence from the poor souls who came before you to learn more about the darkness taking hold of this grim land.Why do most Korean presidents end their term with tragedy?
