Two Years Later President Park Reveals Her Whereabouts

Two years after the Sewol Ferry tragedy, where about 300 students died trapped inside a ferry over the course of several days, the Presidential Office just announced yesterday that President Park was working from her private residence in the Blue House during that day.

If that is all that happened, why did they refuse to answer any questions on President Park's whereabouts for over two years?

Many feel that the investigations into the ferry disaster were hindered and are still demanding for a fair and thorough investigation along with punishment of those involved as only lower level officials were punished.

And why does it always seem like prosecutors are going after protesters, union leaders and opposition figures?
