Tens of thousands of people went to the "Blue House," the presidential residence in Seoul, to pay their final respects at a Buddhist altar adorned with her picture. In contrast to her stone-faced husband, the former schoolteacher had earned the affection of the Korean masses through her retiring manners and beguiling smile...
