All The President Have Been Killed In Office, Committed Suicide & Jailed
On May 4th local time, South Korea’s “Chosun Ilbo” reported that South Korean Prosecutor General Lee Won seok had issued instructions to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors Office responsible for investigating the incident of South Korea’s “First Lady” Kim Chien hee accepting a branded bag, requesting the formation of a dedicated investigation team to conduct an investigation into the matter.
The incident occurred on September 13, 2022, when it was reported that South Korea’s first lady, Kim Chien hee, received a Dior bag worth approximately 3 million Korean won (approximately 16000 yuan) as a bribe from Korean overseas pastor Choi Jae young in the United States. This incident not only plunged Jin Jianxi into a whirlpool of public opinion, but also added a lot of pressure to Yin Xiyue’s governance path.
Moreover, just before Kim Chien hee was exposed for accepting bribes, the South Korean police had confirmed that more than half of the resumes submitted by Kim Chien hee to five universities in South Korea when he applied for a part-time professor position did not match the facts. However, later on, the South Korean police decided not to hold him criminally responsible and not to transfer the case to the prosecution, citing insufficient evidence to constitute fraud and the statute of limitations for prosecution.
Nevertheless, facing these negative news, as the President of South Korea, Yoon Seok yeol naturally feels unprecedented pressure. As a prosecutor, he has a deep understanding of the operation and power of the South Korean prosecution system. He not only needs to worry about how his wife will respond to the special investigation, but also considers the potential impact of this case on his governance.
After the incident was exposed, the so-called “Qinghuatai curse” was once again mentioned by the general public. In fact, the so-called “Blue House Curse” is simply the “curse of the South Korean President”. The “Blue House Curse” refers to people who have served as South Korean presidents, and historically, the vast majority have had no good ending.
At present, except for Moon Jae-in, who is still free, almost all the people who have served as the president of South Korea have been killed in office, committed suicide after leaving office, or been impeached and jailed.
As is well known, the successive presidents of South Korea have tragic endings, hence they are known as the Blue House Curse.
According to publicly available information, the outcomes of previous South Korean presidents are as follows:
The first South Korean president, Lee Seung wan, fled to the United States in his later years due to political movements; The second, Yin Pushan, was forced to step down by a coup after 9 months in power; The third one, Park Chung hee, was assassinated and died; The fourth, Cui Guixia, served for 10 months and was forced to step down by a coup; The fifth, Quan Douhuan, was sentenced to death for his crime and later changed to life imprisonment; The sixth, Lu Taiyu, was sentenced to 17 years imprisonment for corruption; Seventh, Kim Young sam, known as the “national culprit” by the Chinese due to the Asian financial crisis; The ninth, Roh Moo hyun, committed suicide by jumping off a cliff to prove his innocence; The tenth, Li Mingbo, was sentenced to 17 years in prison for his crime; The eleventh, Park Geun hye, was sentenced to 22 years’ imprisonment for crime, and was pardoned by Moon Jae-in in 2020; No. 12, Moon Jae-in, is currently retired; But during his tenure, his left and right hands, as well as capable generals, were successively arrested or scrutinized.
Currently, Yoon Seok yeol is the thirteenth serving President of South Korea. However, the current prospects are also subject to many variables, and it may be difficult to fully consider them.
To analyze the causes of the “Blue House Curse”, we need to start from the political, economic, and military aspects of South Korea.
From a political perspective, since World War II, the United States has separated the Prosecutor’s Office from the Department of Justice and is not subject to any constraints, allowing it to investigate the President. This has laid a hidden danger for the Blue House, even if the President himself has no problems, he will still be implicated in the mistakes of those around him.
From an economic perspective, the top ten chaebols in South Korea, such as Samsung and Hyundai, account for over 70% of the country’s GDP, highlighting the conflict between the public and the chaebols. From a military perspective, the United States not only has tens of thousands of combat troops stationed in South Korea for a long time, but even the command of the South Korean military is under the control of the US military headquarters stationed in South Korea and is not under the jurisdiction of the South Korean government.
Therefore, analyzing the crux of its curse is that it cannot be considered an independent government under the manipulation and control of the United States. To break this curse, we need to crack down on monopolistic tycoons and promote South Korea’s de US military presence from a legal and practical perspective. This is also the fundamental way for the former Moon Jae-in and later South Korean presidents to break the curse.

South Korea’s Presidential Palace: 5 Feng Shui Hidden Dangers
Bad feng shui portends bad endings for anyone residing in South Korea’s presidential palace. On the evening of March 22, South Korea’s former President Lee Myung-bak was arrested on a number of allegations ranging from corruption to abuse of power while he was in office. He is currently being held in a detention center in Seoul after the court approved his arrest warrant. Myung-bak has become the country’s fourth leader to end up behind bars.
Since South Korea’s independence in 1945, there have been 11 presidents, and most of them have ended in up in a similar situation. Among them, the first president, Syngman Rhee, was forced out of office and exiled to Hawaii; Chun Doo-hwan and Roh Tae-woo were sentenced to death and 22 years imprisonment respectively, Kim Yong-sam was expelled from Parliament, Kim Dae-jung was imprisoned on charges of treason, Roh Moo-hyun committed suicide by jumping off a cliff when he was investigated for impeachment, Park Chung-hee, who held power for a long time, was eventually assassinated by the director of Korean Central Intelligence Agency, while Park Geun-hye was forced out of office because of her trusted friend’s manipulation in the country’s administration and is now in prison for corruption. The same fate has befallen Lee Myung-bak.
The location of South Korea’s presidential palace has very bad feng shui
Many prophesiers pointed out that the miserable end of these former South Korean presidents has a great deal to do with the location of the executive office and official residence of the South Korean head of state, Cheong Wa Dae or the Blue House, as it is known because of the color of the tiles.
To the north of Cheong Wa Dae is the mountain Bukhansan, flanked by two mountains. Naksan, symbolizing the Azure Dragon, is on the left and Inwangsan, symbolizing the White Tiger, is on the right. To the south is Namsan, the protective mountain of the capital. There are two rivers flowing in front, the Cheonggyecheon stream and the Han River.
Those making predictions believe that there are three disadvantages caused by the location of the presidential palace: the White Tiger leaning against the steep mountain, the lack of symmetry, and the shape of the mountain and river.
White Tiger leaning against the steep mountain means that the main building is too close to the high mountain, which gives rise to a sense of pressure and it becomes easy for people to be pressured accordingly. Cheong Wa Dae leans against solitary steep mountain peaks that look like a dragon’s head. It was believed that the dragon could not move forward so the dragon energy is trapped and in disarray. To the west, the White Tiger Mountain and Cheong Wa Dae face each other; at the back of Cheong Wa Dae is an outcrop of strange rocks that are believed to be causing bad luck to any leader in the Office of South Korea.
The Lack of symmetry is derived from the way that the main building and all the administrative areas are deviated from the central axis and are asymmetrical. It is believed that this lack of symmetry causes difficulties for the president of Korea to present a glorious image to the people.
The symbolic shapes of the mountain and river come from the way that the mountain in the north resembles a bow, with the centerline of the two mountain ranges pointing in the direction of Cheong Wa Dae, while the river in the south also resembles a bow aiming directly at Cheong Wa Dae.
After the former President Park Geun-hye was forced out of office and sent to prison, people began to realize the astonishing fact that the succession of South Korea’s presidents had all come to a miserable end.
By looking at the records, former President Roh Moo-hyun decided there was a bad spirit over the presidential palace and proposed to relocate the capital. However, his plans were set back by the Constitutional Court’s ruling that the relocation was unconstitutional. After Roh went to the presidential palace, he committed suicide.
Feng shui practitioners say that Cheong Wa Dae has a big feng shui problem that has resulted in the unfortunate ending of most of the presidents of South Korea in recent years.
