PARK CHUNG-HEE (Chapter 6): assassinated on 26 October 1979 by the KCIA director. PARK GEUN-HYE (this chapter): impeached by the Assembly on 9 December 2016, upheld by the Constitutional Court on 10 March 2017, then a scheduled election. DIFFERENCE The last exit went through a vote and a court ruling. The sources here do not say whether that process would have worked without the public pressure around it.
