BREAKING: Seoul hospital says former South Korean President Roh Tae-woo has died.
The Seoul National University Hospital said Roh died while being treated for an illness. It gave no further details.
About 200 people were killed in the military-led crackdowns in Gwangju, according to government records. His victory in the hotly contested December 1987 election was largely attributable to a split in opposition votes between Kim Young-sam and Kim Dae-jung, who both later became presidents. Roh established relations with the Soviet Union in 1990 and with China in 1992. Relations with North Korea improved under Roh, with the two sides holding their first-ever prime ministers’ talks in 1990 and both countries joining the United Nations at the same time in 1991.
In his later years as president, Roh concentrated on boosting domestic consumption to make up for exports that were slowed by global economic downturns, only to be dealt the lowest full-year growth rate in his tenure.
