Lee also recalled that Choi “would toss us the materials at the meetings and have us reading them without any real explanation, giving us orders to ‘Do things this way’ or ‘Do things that way.’” “We would listen to her and draft project plans, and they would be passed back to us later as Blue House documents without so much as a comma changed,” he added.
While explaining this, Lee showed a Hankyoreh reporter a comparison of documents stored as image files on his iPhone, which were published as official Blue House documents after he wrote them. He also showed telephone numbers saved on the device for around 20 Blue House secretaries and senior secretaries, which the Hankyoreh later confirmed to be correct.
Regarding the topics discussed at the meetings, Lee said, “About 10% were related to the Mir and K-Sports Foundations, while the other 90% mostly had to do with government policies like the shutdown of the Kaesong Industrial Complex, which Choi Sun-sil referred to as ’issues of interest to President Park Geun-hye.‘”
“Appointment issues were also discussed at the meetings, and decisions were made on who to make or not make a Cabinet minister,” he added. “It’s a real break with common perceptions to say this, but it’s actually a system where Choi tells the President to do things this way or that way. There aren’t any issues where the President can decide on her own,” Lee said. “It’s basically only possible once Choi has been asked about and approves everything. Even the Blue House ‘door knocker triumvirate’ are basically all just Choi’s messengers.”
Choi does not even live in Korea at the moment. She also organises her stuff via a fresh owned Hotel in some rural town here in Germany. Germany has never seen so many korean journalists like the last days.
Well, this is getting just a tad bit awkward, I suppose. Next thing you know the largest and best democracy in the world turns out to have been under overwhelming influence of corporations. But, that could never happen, of course, as the people there would rise up against such tyranny to stop it from taking hold over their country.

From Wikipedia: The Blue House is the executive office and official residence of the South Korean head of state, the President of the Republic of Korea, and is located in the capital city of Seoul. The Blue House is in fact a complex of buildings, built largely in the traditional Korean architectural style with some modern elements.

I don't really understand how you class something as the largest and best democracy. Its' either a democracy or it isn't by definition and unless Korean voters display higher turnouts than any other democratic country how is it the largest? ;O
News doesn't seem surprising though, I mean awhile back Korea was seemingly just on the lower tech-side of the manufacturing chain under Japan. They obviously needed the legislation to achieve the dominance that they have today. Not that it is in anyway a good thing- I mean corporate affecting government to this high of a level..

Sorry, I should have clarified. I am using their own definition of their country as a way to mock them.
Considering the level of cultish behaviour and fanaticism in Korea nowadays, this isn't that surprising. PGH received orders from this hybrid Buddhist/Shamanism/Christian priest type person who claimed to contact her mother beyond the grave. Politics in SK have usually been pretty corrupt, but having a Rasputin figure behind the curtains is a new one for me. I guess it only serves to add fuel to conspiracy fire.

German source (http://www.faz.net/aktuell/rhein-main/hotel-in-schmitten-in-skandal-aus-suedkorea-verwickelt-14501207.html)
The influencing women openend at least 2 letterbox companies here in Germany which might have used to launder money, one, "Blue K" as an IT company, the other is somehow associated to help the south korean olympic horse riders before next olympic games. . The women at least made over 66 Million $ by asking companies and gouvernment in korea for money for here cause(maybe with help of the president?). The Police here in Germany got a report by unknown and is now investigating because of possible money laundring.
But well, South Korea was always the gouvernment of the industrial familys... I just didnt expect that this kind of vodoo girls would have part in this.
Sports columnist Bill Simmons coined the term "Tyson Zone," in which nothing you hear about a particular celebrity can possibly surprise you. Did you hear that Mike Tyson urinated on a police officer? Of course he did! Did you hear that Mike Tyson is attempting to breed unicorns? Of course he is! Given what you already know about Mike Tyson, none you hear about Mike Tyson could possibly surprise you.
With Choi Soon-sil-gate, Park Geun-hye put the entire country into the Tyson Zone. Every insane rumor about the president--the kind that you would see from some remote corner of the internet and laugh off--is now fair game. For years, there have been rumors that the name of Park's political party, the Saenuri Party, is a code name for a cult named shincheonji. Well, why not? We already know that Choi Soon-sil was the one who actually produced Park's inauguration, which featured numerous little multi-colored bags that are used for shamanistic rituals. Would it really surprise you Park Geun-hye named her party after a cult? Did you hear that Choi Soon-sil may have had a hidden son who worked at the presidential residence? Well, why not? We already know Choi made her personal trainer into a presidential aide--what's another hidden son?
This doesn't need to be said but take this with a grain of salt as it's just more for fun on the absurdity of the situation
