Kushibo has posted a video of Korea’s incoming president speaking English at a 1974 (?) event in Hawaii to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Korean immigration to the state.
And OK, I’ll say it—Park was a good-looking young woman. She’s still quite a handsome woman, for that matter, regardless of her politics.
UPDATE: And here she is speaking in English in November of this year at the SFCC (HT to Steve Herman). Seems like a prepared speech, but she reads it well.

If that wasn’t memorised and rehearsed I’m *very* impressed. 36 years later most Korean English teachers couldn’t pull that off.
She delivered a speech in English during her Nov. 8 news conference at the Seoul Foreign Correspondents’ Club. Audio here: https://soundcloud.com/seoulfcc/parkgh8nov
Very nice, and yes, she was a nice looking girl, easily a 7 or maybe an 8. Contrast that with the Juche Pricess who isn’t even a 2.
handsome woman? I guess - Striking and imposing in good looks rather than conventionally pretty.
She speaks quite a few different languages.
pretty woman and very stylish
I hope she has a first class security for herself. Her mother and father were assassinated, and in 2007, someone tried to kill her with a knife to her face. With all the crazy leftists running around in South Korea, brainwashed by left leaning entertainment media, she could be a fat target in waiting for wannabe heroes.
I’ve been saying for years that she’s a very beautiful woman.
Everyone in Korea has been saying it since December 20.
Arirang TV has suddenly become very pro-Park. Perhaps they know she may be watching and understanding their news.
You can feel she is reading her notes. Actually she may have less trouble reading it and talking in english than korean during the debates :p

I had similar thoughts on election night when they showed her leaving her house. The crowd – while not necessarily rowdy or unruly – was way too large and allowed to get too close to her. At any moment it looked like she might get crushed.

Seeing how confidently she [publicly] notes of her ability to speak English, French, Spanish, and even Chinese, my doubts have somewhat dispelled now.
Very nice post.I am not good in speaking English but soon i will speak excellent English with the help of videos like this http://youtu.be/tlij5hCZso0
