Lu Taiyu was hospitalized for a long time due to chronic diseases.
Recently, he was hospitalized at Seoul National University Hospital in South Korea due to deterioration of his condition and received intensive care, but his condition did not improve and eventually passed away.
According to data, Lu Tae-woo was born in Dalseong County, North Gyeongsang Province, South Korea in December 1932. He graduated from the Military Academy in 1955. He was elected the first elected president of South Korea in 1987. He was sworn in as President in 1988 and resigned in 1993.
During Roh Tae-woo's administration, South Korea's economy maintained a steady development trend and normalized diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe and other countries and regions.
After President Roh Tae-woo resigned after his term of office expired, he was arrested in November 1995 for raising and embezzling secret political funds. He appeared in court in the same year and became the first former head of state in South Korea's history to be tried publicly in court.
Lu Tae-woo was subsequently sentenced to life imprisonment and later commuted to 17 years imprisonment with a fine of 262.89 billion won.
In December 1997, former South Korean President Kim Young Sam and President-elect Kim Dae-jung agreed to amnesty Lu Tae-woo, but still had to pay a fine.
In September 2013, Lu Taiyu paid all the fined taxes after 16 years.
