The attorney later became the president of South Korea

He had great ratings for press freedom but was not a good president as he was irregular in his behavior and the economy tanked under his reign. He had the worst presidential ratings ever but became a cult figure after his suicide. Also, South Korean's have given some of their dictators great ratings for some reason.

His suicide note:

I am in debt to so many people. I have caused too great a burden to be placed upon them. I can't begin to fathom the countless agonies down the road. The rest of my life would only be a burden for others. I am unable to do anything because of poor health. I can't read, I can't write. Do not be too sad. Isn't life and death all a part of nature? Do not be sorry. Do not feel resentment toward anyone. It is fate.

Cremate me. And leave only a small tombstone near home. I've thought on this for a long time.
