Assignment 2 - Kim Dae-jung was a remarkable president.
...............Kim Dae-jung was a remarkable president. He was born in Sin-an, Jella-do in 1924. He went into action as a business man as soon as he graduates high-school in 1941. First, in 1963, he was a member of the National Assembly and a spokesperson for the Democratic Party. Then, in 1971, he ran for presidency but he was defeated by former president Park Jung-hee. After that, he fought for democracy and endure many unfortunate crisises in his life, for example, a mysterious car accident, kidnapping, attempted murder, a deportation, a death sentence of life in prison, etc. After two defeats in elections, he decalared his retirement from politics in 1992. However, three years later he made his comeback to politics. Finally, he became president in 1997. During his four-year term, he received a Novel Peace Prize. After his retirement, he was a good adviser for many politicians. He spent his whole life on democracy. In my opinion, He was the remarkable politicaian ever to serve Korea.
