“sorry for disappointing the Korean people”

Former President Roh Moo-hyun jumped to his death off a cliff behind his home in southern South Korea.

I’m not suggesting that I know much of anything about South Korean politics ~ in fact, I really don’t know much about SK at all.   But I do know that Roh Moo-hyun has been a controversial figure for years ~ with a legacy of political infighting, temporary impeachment, accusations of “incompetency”,  accusations of bribery ~  and at the time of his death,  he was under investigation for receiving millions of dollars in bribes from a businessman while in office.   He never admitted any personal wrongdoing associated with the bribery allegations, but in his final note he wrote that he was “sorry for disappointing the Korean people.”   Wow ~ I suspect you have to be REALLY  sorry to throw yourself off a cliff ..

Just add it to the list of things I don’t understand.
