	Kim Young Sam
		Kim merged his party with Roh's, and was elected his successor.
		His legacy is mixed: while on the one hand Kim's administration spearheaded the prosecution for treason and corruption of two former South Korean presidents (earning convictions for both), the performance of his own administration was less than stellar.
		The economy fared poorly, problems with KIA Motors precipitated the Asian economic crisis, and allegations of bribery and corruption haunted him.

	Kim Dae Jung - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However in 1980, Kim was arrested and sentenced to death on charges of sedition and conspiracy in the wake of another coup by Chun Doo-hwan and a popular uprising in Gwangju, his political stronghold.
		Kim's return was initially met with a huge backlash, but the situation became favorable for him when the public perceived the incompetency of the incumbent government which let the nation's economy collapse in the Asian financial crisis just weeks before the presidential election.
		Kim Dae-jung was the first president to serve out his full term who came from the Jeolla region in the southwest, an area that traditionally has been neglected and less developed, at least partly because of discriminatory policies of previous presidents.

		As a result, Kim Young Sam suffered a major embarrassment, Kim Jong Pil got a new lease on political life, and Kim Dae Jung got the opening he was seeking for a return to politics.
		Later, in a successful effort to isolate Kim Dae Jung and position himself to capture the presidency in 1992, Kim Young Sam joined his arch enemies--Kim Jong Pil and Roh Tae Woo, the architects of the 1961 and 1979/80 military coups respectively--to form the DLP in 1990.
		Kim Jong Pil, the father of the dreaded KCIA, and Kim Dae Jung, kidnapped and nearly murdered by the KCIA in the 1970s, are the strangest of bedfellows in 1995 as they collaborate to further weaken Kim Young Sam and the remnants of the DLP.

	Kim Young-sam - InformationBlast
		Kim Young-sam (RR: Gim Yeong-sam ; MR: Kim Yŏng-sam ; Korean 김영삼; 金泳三, December 20, 1927-) was the President of South Korea from 1993 to 1998.
		When the first democratic presidential election was held in 1987 after ex-general Chun Doo-hwan's retirement, Kim Young-sam and Kim Dae-jung ran against each other, splitting the opposition vote and enabling ex-general Roh Tae-woo--Chun Doo-hwan's hand-picked successor--to win the election.
		Although Kim tried to reform the South Korean conglomerates (jaebeol), he is remembered mostly now for the Asian financial crisis, the Korean portion of which began in 1997 (the last year of his tenure) with the collapse of Kia Motors.
