On December 23, 2014, he met in Jogyesa Temple in Jongno-gu, Seoul, and said, “The taste of bitterness lives,” and he said, “When we are desperate like these days, we have to give up our spirits.”
Chae Hyeon-guk, chairman of Hyoam Academy, passed away at 5 pm on the 2nd due to old age. Year 86. The deceased was born in Daegu in 1935 during the Japanese occupation and graduated from the Department of Philosophy at Seoul National University. In 1961 (current Korean Broadcasting) joined as PD, but quit after three months. It was because he was dissatisfied with the unfair production order of the military regime that used broadcasting as a propaganda tool. Afterwards, he became a leading mining company by managing the Heungguk coal mine in Dogye, Samcheok-gun, Gangwon-do, which was run by his father, Ki-yeop Chae. At one time, it was rejected to the extent that it ranked second in the country in terms of income tax payments, but after the restoration in October 1972, it was feared that the situation would have to become a leader of the Park Chung-hee regime. It has also been a strong “back-up” for those who resist dictatorship by hiding or providing funds for those who are living in the fleeing life of the democratization movement. Journalist Lim Jae-kyung recalled that he was a supporter who looked after Chae’s operating expenses whenever he ran out of operating expenses, and that he was a “unconventional man” who bought a house to reporters who were dismissed from rent. In 1988, he was inaugurated as the chairman of Hyoam Academy, a foundation with Hyoam High School and Gaeun Middle School, and has been working unpaid ever since. His life, which has not been swayed by money, fame, and power, became known in earnest through an interview in 2014. At the time, he said, “Look carefully that the old people are that shape,” and he received a hot response as a hobbyist murder towards the’Kondae’s. The mortuary was prepared at the Seoul National University Hospital, and the deceased is at 9 o’clock in the morning of the 5th. By Kang Jae-gu, staff reporter
