 | | Allied with Kim Jong-pil, he finally defeated Lee Hoi-chang, Kim Young-sam's successor, in the election held on December 18, 1997, and was inaugurated as the fifteenth President of South Korea on February 25, 1998. | | | With the intervention of the United States government, the sentence was commuted to 20 years in prison and later he was given exile to the U.S. Kim stayed in Harvard University as visiting fellow to the Center for International Affairs, until he chose to return to his homeland in 1985. | | | [1] Although Kim returned to Seoul alive, he was banned from politics and imprisoned in 1976 for having participated in the proclamation of an anti-government manifesto and sentenced for five years in prison, which was reduced to house arrest in 1978. |

| | Kim Jong-il was officially confirmed as the supreme ruler of Democratic People’s Republic of Korea when he was sworn in as Secretary General on October 8, 1997. | | | When Kim Young-sam became president, Kim Dae-jung was the opposition leader and led moves to obstruct the passage of such contentious bills as labor laws, which were intended to allow employers to conduct mass layoffs, the legislation which was eventually adopted after his 1997 presidential election victory. | | | Kim Dae-jung cannot be elected for a second term and therefore he will leave his presidency with a mixed legacy. |
