The 92 election was over.   Now we are facing new year with wish,  hope,

and expectations.  I think that a lot of people's interests will go to

the YS's new government,  and who will be the new generation leader.

However,  YS's several products after his win,  disappoints us very much.

The members of the presidential transition team who we are sick of and are

the same old faces,  are from 5 Gong and  6 Gong.   YS and his followers

are trying to twist essences of the Pusan scandal.   They rather have named

Kim Gi-Choon an hero.   And right after YS won the election,  the Lotte group

received special benefits from selling its rela estate in Gang Nam.  The

government let the Lotte group sell the real estate in an illegal way.

The Lotte group is known to supply alot of black money to YS in the election,

also, the chairman of the group is YS's relative.


YS's doings recently are nothing diffrent from the militants'.  Nevertheless,

let's wait more,  and see how he is doing.



New Generation Political Leaders:


I'd like to list the expecting future leaders and their advantages and
drwbacks.  This is based on my subjective analysis,  so that I welcome
your valuable comments.

It is very important to decide the well-qualified next leader.  It is most
likely for MinJa -Dang to exploit advantages of localism in the next
election in order to keep their initiatives and preveileges.



    Politicans                          Analysis

                      But,  he is not really new generation politician.
