The will of the 13th president, the late Roh Tae-woo, was revealed today (27th) through his son, Roh Jae-heon, a lawyer.
Lawyer Noh met with reporters at the funeral home of Seoul National University Hospital today and said about the maintenance of the deceased while he was alive, "Because he thought and had a lot of responsibility for the country, he thought that everything he did well and failed was his unlimited responsibility."
He continued, "I hoped that he would kindly forgive me if there was any responsibility or mistake I was responsible for, especially for the heartbreaking part of the 5/18 victims, and for the various things that happened during my tenure after that."
In addition, he said, "He usually said, 'I will carry all the bad aspects of history on my back. I hope that the next generation will live with hope.'"
