Next for South Koreans: reform the government that serves them

In 2013, Park Geun-hye was South Korea’s newly elected president, beating rival Moon Jae-in by a million votes. Four years later, Ms. Park is in jail, impeached and awaiting trial for charges that she abused power and demanded tens of thousands of dollars in bribes. That’s one outcome of a months-long corruption scandal that rocked South Korean society this year, feeding voters’ suspicions that the rich and powerful live by a different set of rules.
