Park, 61, is South Korea's first female president; she was elected with the nation's highest turnout rate in 15 years.
This is her second "term" in the presidential Blue House. Her father, Park Chung-hee, was president for 18 years, and at age 22 she became de facto first lady after her mother was killed by a bullet intended for her husband -- he was also later assassinated. Park presides over the world's 15th largest GDP at $1.15 trillion.
