Full Name:
Geun-hye ParkBirth Date: 02-02-1952
Birth Place: Daegu, South Korea
Education: Sogang University, Université de Grenoble (France)
At the age of just 22, she was thrust into the political limelight, becoming South Korea's first lady when her mother was shot dead in 1974 - hit by a North Korean sympathizer's bullet that was intended for her husband. The assasin is Mun Se-gwang, a Japanese-born Korean. For five years, Ms Park was charged with receiving the spouses of foreign heads of state at the Blue House, South Korea's presidential residence. Ms Park Geun-hye, holds an engineering degree (electronic engineering) from Sogang University in Seoul. She also briefly studied at the University of Grenoble, but left France following the death of her mother.
Her father was assassinated by his own intelligence chief, Gim Jaegyu, on 26 October 1979. Awoken in the night to be told of her father’s murder, Ms Park says her first words were: “Is the border with North Korea secure?” Despite this outward coolness, she was deeply shaken by her father’s death, retreating from public life. For 19 years she worked with a charitable foundation and read extensively on philosophy and spiritualism.
During a campaign on 20 May 2006, Ji Chung-ho, a 50-year-old criminal with eight previous convictions, slashed Park's face with a utility knife. The blade slices a deep path from Park Geun-hye’s ear to the front of her right jaw, causing an 11-centimeter wound on her face, requiring 60 stitches and several hours of surgery.
A softly spoken woman who never married or had children, Ms Park tends to avoid publicity, preferring to spend time reading or practising yoga. Ms Park’s carefully managed public appearances and closely guarded privacy make her difficult to assess.
The fact that she never married nor had children could have worked against her in a traditional society like that of South Korea, but she turned those facts around, using them to illustrate her devotion to the country as well as insulation against corruption. Ms Park said in a televised press conference, "I have no family to take care of and no children to pass wealth to. You, the people, are my family and your happiness is the reason that I stay in politics. Like a mother who dedicates her life to her family, I will become the president who takes care of the lives of each one of you".
