After the funeral and cremation, the carriage procession of the late former President Roh Tae-woo had just arrived at Geomdansa Temple in Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do.
It is a temporary place to be enshrined until the burial place is prepared. Let’s take a closer look at the scene screen now. We are showing you how the vehicle has arrived now and arrived at Geomdansa Temple in Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do.
Geomdansa Temple is located in Tanhyeon-myeon, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do. It is said that the temple was founded by Hyeso of Jingam Guksa in the late Silla period in 847. Right now, this swordsman is temporarily enshrined. It will be temporarily enshrined at Geomdansa Temple, and then moved again as soon as the burial site is prepared.
From this morning, the funeral ceremony for the late former President Roh Tae-woo was held. Once the funeral was held, it was all over in the morning, and the deceased was cremated at the Seoul Memorial Park in Seocho-gu, while the bereaved family watched.
And the funeral procession carrying the remains has now arrived at Geomdansa Temple in Paju. Now, in his will, the deceased left a will that he hoped for the next generation to achieve peaceful reunification of the two Koreas.
Considering this, it is said that the bereaved families have been hoping to bury the deceased near the Paju Unification Garden. However, when this intention was communicated to Paju City in June, it is said that there was an opinion that a funeral facility could not be built.
However, after the death of the deceased, the Paju side took the position that it would decide whether to allow the burial after collecting and reviewing opinions from various fields such as the government and civil society. It was decided to temporarily bury the remains.
And once the cemetery is built after the negotiations are over, the bereaved family plans to formally bury the deceased. Now, the black Ungu vehicle has arrived at Geomdansa Temple in Paju, and there is no movement yet. The temple officials are also waiting in front of me now.
This place is known as a place frequented by displaced people along with the Odusan Observatory. The fact that the head of state has been held since this morning is true, the government must have been very concerned about whether or not the head of state was the head of state.

Apparently, in modern history, the various positions of the 5.18 bereaved families in Gwangju would have had much higher tensions, especially in the presence of President Chun Doo-hwan. It seems that it was a decision that fully reflected the fact that Kim Ok-sook and her son Jae-heon made a lot of apologies through family members, and that they expressed their sincerity about the punitive aspects of the state.
In that sense, it is necessary for the politicians to follow the decisions of the Minister of Public Administration and Security and the President according to the State Superintendent Act, and to minimize political controversy through this process, and for the citizens to follow, rather than flirting with each other depending on who they are. do. I see it that way.
Furthermore, in the case of former President Chun Doo-hwan, I think it is necessary to have such a discussion more calmly.
[앵커]
First of all, the atmosphere so far is that there is no need to consider the head of state in the case of the Blue House or the political circle, especially in the case of the Democratic Party, in the case of Mr. Chun Doo-hwan. It is a situation where the carriage of former President Roh Tae-woo is coming out of the vehicle now.
I’m moving the portrait photo right now. This situation is currently being held as the head of state. There was a lot of controversy, but once it was held as the head of state, there were quite a lot of interpretations in the political circles, so even today’s funeral ceremony, there were a lot of things that were slightly different in the political circles.
[신성범]
That’s right. This is why I feel uncomfortable with that part when I just look at the screen. Now Geomdansa is a Buddhist temple. It’s called temporary enshrining at a Buddhist temple, but that’s why, after a very national event at 88 Seoul Memorial Park in Seoul, you can’t go to Paju Unification Garden right away, and see that it is temporarily enshrined there.
It’s very different from what we saw at the Olympics, but why does it have to be a scene like that in the middle because it’s the national head of state? In fact, a ritual, a ritual, is a representative rite of the state, but it is…
It’s been a few days since I decided to become the head of the country. Why did you not have an agreement with Paju? First of all, I have no choice but to tell you, as a citizen and as a viewer, that I cannot understand this. And anyway, how much do we know about the historical mistakes of former President Roh Tae-woo?
However, the decision to become the head of state is more important than that of the department, so it is a procession to represent the nation. I would like to say that it was much better for me to come and show such an image of unity in politics regardless of the opposition.
[앵커]
But even though he is the head of state, in fact, to commemorate the Seoul Olympics, the funeral was held today at Olympic Park, and the official attendance was only about 50.
The deceased had wished for a simple funeral while he was still alive, and now the Corona 19 situation. It is said that they will go back to normal life in stages from next week, but since social distancing is still in effect, it is said that they did it with a minimum number of people considering those points.
Also, since Paju has some kind of relationship with the deceased, it would have been nice if the burial place had been decided immediately, as you said, and a cemetery would have been created, but I think that those aspects should be considered because there may be other procedures later.
[김형주]
I also lived with a sick bed for a long time, but if there was an opinion from Mrs. Kim Ok-suk, Mrs. Jae-heon, and others like that that they wanted to be buried in Paju, if I had consulted in advance with Paju or something like that, I would be in this state…
[앵커]
We negotiated, but I think Paju city’s stance was strong.
[김형주]
Yes. However, I wonder if it would have been better if it had been done for a longer period of time. In that sense, I have regrets. Anyway, if I say that I should not go to Paju and be buried in a national cemetery, then the shape becomes even more strange. Even so, the bereaved families of former President Roh Tae-woo chose a place called Paju with their own various beaches. In our country, Gyeonggi-do, Paju-si, and Paju-si have a lot of complicated interests for the government to make such procedures more right. So, it seems that our government, the Ministry of Veterans Affairs and Paju, need something a little more cooperative in all areas.
[앵커]
All right. We also delivered the funeral procession of the late former President Roh Tae-woo, who had a funeral ceremony and cremation, and the arrival at Geomdansa Temple in Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do.
