박 전대통령, 검찰 출석해 어떤 메시지 던지나.. '원론적 사과 예상'
As we have reported earlier,... Park Geun-hye is not the first former president to undergo a prosecutors' investigation.
All of those who went before her apologized to the Korean people.
Will Park express similar sentiments?
For more on the words... she may have prepared for a public wanting answers, Song Ji-sun reports.
Lawyers for former president Park Geun-hye confirmed that she will stand in front of the press... and deliver a message to the nation... although they did not elaborate on what the message will include or how long it will be.
This will be her first public address since leaving the top office.
Park will likely avoid sending a political message... or making remarks that can legally affect her charges or trial - leading to speculation that her message will be concise, or a simple apology to the nation.
In a message delivered by her former spokesperson when she exited the presidential office of Cheong Wa Dae - she implied she will fight legally to prove her innocence... and did not state whether she accepts the Constitutional Court's decision to remove her from office.
" "It may take some time, but I believe the truth will surely be revealed."
Korea's former presidents who faced prosecution after their terms,... said they were sorry. Roh Tae-woo for instance apologized in 1995 - for charges stashing funds... and Roh Moo-hyun in 2009 - for bribery charges.
Bribery is also a key charge that the prosecution is vying to question the impeached president... but Park has been claiming she was not even aware of the allegation.
"It is such a far-fetched scheme.
There wasn't the slightest intention of helping or benefiting anyone, nor did such idea ever emerge in my head."
After not showing up at the Constitutional Court to defend herself during the impeachment trial... nor undergoing investigation by the prosecution nor an independent counsel while in office... Park will finally undergo a face-to-face questioning over more than a dozen charges,...as the nation awaits to hear some much deserving answers.
