Probably?
It looks like he abused power during his presidency for personal gain, blacklisted liberal figures, used government agency to spread pro-conservative propaganda, spied on liberal figures, received funds illegally from the intelligence agency, obstruction of justice, and more. Even though almost a decade has passed, there should still be enough information out there to convict him.

Korea Today
In Korea, the birth rate is really low and dropping. People want a bright future for their child. If they feel their children would not be able to get a job and have a good life, they probably would put off having children. Then there are those who choose not to have children for other reasons.
Korean TV broadcasting companies, MBC and YTN, recently changed CEOs. Another broadcasting company, KBS, just fired their CEO yesterday and should appoint a new one soon. Suddenly, I am able to watch some TV without getting ticked off now.
1987, a movie about the 1987 protests for democracy ignited by the deaths of two students was released last week. One died while being waterboarded by the authorities. They claimed he just gasped and died. Another was killed by an exploding tear gas canister aimed at his head.
The prosecutors found evidence that ex-President Keun-hye Park asked for money from the intelligence agency (over $3 million) and used it to pay for personal expenses and staff. On TV, they keep showing footage of her swearing on TV that she never thought of her personal interests, but acted only for the good of the country.

Legalize Pot and Pot Use Among Young People Drops?
Happened in the Netherlands, Portugal and Colorado, I think.
CBS News: Measuring Colorado's "great experiment" with marijuana
So, governments that do not legalize pot are contributing to increased drug use by young people?
Too bad you can't sue governments.

Norway Decriminalizes All Illegal Drugs
Seems to be the logical, economical, and humane approach to drug addiction. Makes much more sense than locking people up and depriving them of means to earn a living. Hard to get a job, even without a conviction record.
