[Global Times Special Correspondent in South Korea Zhang Jing] According to the South Korean President’s amnesty order, former President Park Geun-hye, who has been in jail for 4 years and 9 months, will soon be released in the early hours of the 31st of this month.

Over the past few days, there have been constant speculations about the possible political consequences of Park Geun-hye's residence and treatment after his release.

The latest polls show that 60% of South Koreans support the amnesty for Park Geun-hye.

　　"Where will Park Geun-hye live after the amnesty?" "Korean National News" raised this question on the 26th. Prior to this, Park Geun-hye sold his house in Samseong-dong, Seoul in 2017 to buy a private house in Naegok-dong, but then he "confided in the government" and other cases. After the verdict, the private house in Neegok-dong has been auctioned off this year, which also means that Park Geun-hye has become a houseless person.

Park Geun-hye’s personal lawyer, Yoo Young-ha, said on the 26th that according to medical staff’s recommendations, Park Geun-hye will continue to receive treatment in the hospital until at least February 2 next year, and the possibility of continued extension is not ruled out.

Since then, Park Geun-hye's possible future residence is undecided.

There are speculations that the possibility of Park Geun-hye’s younger brother Park Zhi-wan coming forward to solve the problem is not ruled out, but the people around Park Geun-hye said that “the possibility is not high”.

According to relevant South Korean laws, even if Park Geun-hye is pardoned, most of the benefits of his outgoing president will be deprived. The state only provides guards and safety guarantees, but the maximum time limit is 15 years.

　　Park Geun-hye, who was pardoned, and Lee Myung-bak, who was excluded from the list of pardons, were in markedly different moods.

According to Park Geun-hye’s younger sister, Park Geun-ryong, after Park Geun-hye heard that she had only been able to eat porridge after being pardoned, she ordered a bowl of soft rice that day.

"She has a stronger will to restore health and hopes to stand in front of the people in a healthy state." Park Geun-ling explained.

Lee Myung-bak’s former secretary’s office and his cronies issued a statement saying: “It’s sad to see only Park Geun-hye amnesty. This is not to bridge the differences between the people, but out of political intent, it is a kind of political revenge.” The statement said. Li Mingbo once said that he never expects Moon Jae-in to pardon himself during his administration, and hopes that Li Mingbo can stick to it in prison.

In this regard, the Blue House refuted on the 26th that the absence of an amnesty for Li Mingbo was definitely not political retaliation. In addition to physical reasons, it was also because Li Mingbo’s time in jail was shorter (only more than two years), and the people's opposition to the amnesty of Li Mingbo was even louder.

　　The latest polls show that most Koreans support the amnesty for Park Geun-hye.

South Korea’s "Joongang Daily" said on the 26th that the polling agency "Southernpost" released the survey results on the same day that 59.8% of people answered "good decisions" regarding the amnesty to Park Geun-hye, while 34.8% thought "wrong decisions". 5.3% of people answered "don't know".

Young people in South Korea generally oppose the amnesty for Park Geun-hye. Among those in their 20s, “wrong decisions” (64.2%) are considered higher than “good decisions” (27.3%).

In the 30-something age group, the proportion of “wrong decisions” (50.8%) is also higher than that of “correct decisions” (44.8%).

The older the age group, the more people support the amnesty for Park Geun-hye.
