Former President Roh Moo-hyun, who was the target of a highly-publicized corruption scandal, died by jumping off a cliff near his home. I opened my reader this morning to find this news, which I, too, thought was somebody's idea of a sick joke until I saw it repeated everywhere.
I won't be touching this myself now, but for nice round-ups of links, see Stafford on Hub of Sparkle, Matt at Gusts of Popular Feeling, and ROK Drop, as well as all over the local papers.

When I originally posted this news I turned comments off, because I don't want to encourage the trash-talking that's going on on the other sites. I'm also too busy to patrol for spam and other garbage. But I posted about the Gwangju Universiade after Roh's suicide, but wanted to keep this news on top of the page, so I the old post, put up a new one, but I guess I forgot to turn off comments again. I'm doing it now.
