The house where former President Roh Moo-hyun was born was unveiled to the media yesterday after a seven-month restoration project. Gimhae city government invested 980 million won ($810,000) to restore the house after a friend of Roh, Kang Tae-ryong, bought the house and donated it to the city. A ceremony to mark the completion will take place tomorrow. Roh’s widow, Kwon Yang-sook, is expected to attend. After the ceremony, the general public will be allowed to look around the house.

Oh, I get it. Log cabin…Self educated…Someone is trying to associate him to Abe Lincoln. Too bad Roh was a failure as president.

Yes, soon we'll hear how he split rails as young man . He was know as Honest Roh and freed the North Koreans–oh wait he didn't do that. In fact he wasnt' too interested in freedom.

Korean society did become freer and more tolerant in the nearly 2 decades I've been here. But, I think the internet should get most of the credit, not the government.
