Say a prayer for Kim Dae-jung...

Former President Kim Dae-jung is not doing to well. He has been in the hospital for a while now, and is still going through a crisis now and then. What really makes me worry is the news that Kim Young-sam, who has been public for his dislike of his fellow democratic opposition leader, decided to pay Kim Dae-jung a visit in the hospital to reconcile after their relationship fell apart nearly twenty years ago. The JoongAng Daily has more on the situation:

Kim Young-sam also said he wished Kim Dae-jung’s family the best of luck and added, “I said there are always miracles in life.”

...

A source with knowledge of Kim’s condition said the former president “may not last very long.”

“The X-rays of his lungs showed that his condition has worsened,” the source said. “He did improve slightly from early Sunday morning [when his blood pressure plunged], but he is still relying heavily on the respirator and medication to maintain his blood pressure level.”

First Roh and now maybe Kim Dae-jung in one year. Meanwhile Chun Du-hwan, the biggest monster south of the DMZ line, still remains alive and active. Life is cruel like that I guess.
