who claimed to speak to her dead mother. Seriously.
The following is my summary of this article about it the whole thing. I suggest you read the whole thing. It is a good read and the whole situation is insane.
So the President of South Korea, Park Geun-hye, is the daughter of the former dictator, Park Chung-hee. In 1975, her mother was assassinated by a North Korean spy (the bullet was intended for her father).
Soon after she met a "psychic" named Choi Tae-min who claimed that he could talk to her mother. He soon gained her confidence and then leveraged the relationship to amass a fortune via influence peddling and bribery. Her father the dictator became aware of this but looked the other way. He was assassinated in 1979 by the head of the Korean CIA in part because of this.
Choi remained in control of Park until he died in 1994. Then his daughter Choi Soon-sil took over. Park entered politics in 1997 and was elected president in 2012. And it turns out that Choi Soon-sil owned Park just as her father did, using her influence to extort companies and even control policy. Choi also get her daughter preferential treatment in college admissions and this is what began the unravelling the whole thing. Apparently Koreans take that sort of thing really seriously.
