Ex South Korean President leaves hospital in Seoul

Three months after being pardoned for one of South Korea’s worst government corruption scandals, former President Park Geun-hye finally went home Thursday after being released from hospital.

 “I express my greetings to our people for the first time in five years. My health has really improved, thanks to your worries,” Park said. She thanked the hospital’s medical staff and left without taking questions.She then stopped by a cemetery and offered flowers and incense at the grave of her father, slain military dictator Park Chung-hee, and bowed quietly in tribute.Park was ousted from office and imprisoned for bribery and other crimes in 2017 in a stunning fall from grace.She has described herself as a victim of political revenge and refused to attend most of her trials.
