Corruption Is your government corrupt? I am a Korean. I think my government is corrupt. We have had hard time for about five months because of the corrupt resigm. We impeached our former president this month. She and her best friend accepted bribes from big companies such as Samsung, Lotte, and CJ. Samsung especially gave a lot of money to them. The former president solved Samsung's legal problems in reward for the money from Samsung. I think they must be punished. There will be the presidential election in May. I hope we have an honest and able president as a new leader of Korea.

Corrected V: I'm Korean.

Corrected V: I think that the Korean government is corrupted.

Corrected V: We impeached the president who is now a former president of Korea this month.

I think it makes sense to impeach a president, not the former president so I added one more sentence to explain a little more about "impeaching our former president". Some might say it doesn't matter.

The former president solved Samsung's legal problems in reward for the money from Samsung.

Corrected V: The former president helped with Samsung's legal issues in compensation for the bribery.

I believe sounds more affirmative in this case.

Hi, I am from Russia. I read your note and feel calm. I was sure that government officials in my country is most corrupted. Cities are destroying, looking like after war while they are becoming richer and richer. Just take federal money and put in thier own pockets. It is a little bit easier to know that such kind of situation is not only in my own country))
