Park finally exits the Blue House

Former President Park Geun-hye left the Blue House on Sunday, two days after she was dismissed from office, without accepting her impeachment and removal.

Park left the presidential compound at around 7:20 p.m. Sunday for her private residence in Samseong-dong, southern Seoul.

 

 

Former President Park Geun-hye arrives at her residence in Samseong-dong, southern Seoul, after leaving the Blue House Sunday evening, smiling as she greets lawmakers and former aides as some 800 police officers stand guard.

It is being reported that the court's ruling came as a deep shock to the former president.

 

 

The fact that no repair work had been done until after the court's dismissal fueled speculation that Park believed the court would reject the impeachment motion - or at least one of the two court judges appointed by her would do so.

Attention is now on the former president's legal fate now that she has lost the immunity from criminal prosecution allowed to the Korean president.
