Some may remember, when DJT was first elected, the (CIA/KCIA-installed) leader of South Korea stepped down amid massive protests.
In Nov. 2016, we had this article by The Financial Times, reporting "South Korea’s Park Geun-hye denies being in a cult"

"Park Geun-hye shot down claims she is a member of a cult and practised shamanistic rituals in South Korea’s presidential office as she sought to draw a line under a scandal that has shaken the country’s political establishment.

In a live televised address, Ms Park said she would accept an independent investigation into claims that a long-time friend and confidante had exerted influence over presidential decision-making despite holding no official position.

Choi Soon-sil — known as the president’s “shaman adviser” — is also alleged to have pressed some of the country’s biggest companies into donating millions of dollars to organisations under her control."

Park Geun-hye was later impeached & imprisoned.

The "shaman adviser", Choi Soon-sil is the daughter of the late cult leader Choi Tae-min

"Choi, 60, a daughter of the late cult leader Choi Tae-min, is suspected of pulling strings in state affairs and illegally profiting since Park took office in February 2013.

Choi's alleged exploitation of her relationship with the President is fueling speculation that Park, who is supposedly the country's most powerful person, has been under the spell of her cultist confidant after becoming a follower of the religious cult.

Choi Tae-min, who died in 1994 at age 82, is believed to have founded Yongsaenggyo in the 1970s by combining differing beliefs in Buddhism, Christianity and an indigenous Korean religion named Cheondoism that rose in the early 20th century."

From DisobedientMedia, a report titled "The “Spirit Cooking” Style Cult Accused Of Murder And Shamanism In South Korea’s Government" says,

"Mr. Choi was the founder of an obscure sect based on Buddhism, Christianity and Chondogyo called the Church of Eternal Life who befriended Ms. Park, 40 years his junior, soon after her mother was assassinated in 1974. Media reports stated that after Choi Tae-Min’s death in 1994, his daughter Choi Soon-sil became a close advisor for Park and that during this time there were rumors (firmly denied by the president) of shamanist rituals being performed in the Blue House. Korean news outlet The Hankyoreh revealed that Soon-sil exercised extreme levels of control over Park, to the extent that she was dictating the president’s own policy.

Despite official denials, there was a clear pattern of official acceptance of shamanism during Park’s presidency. In 2016, South Korean paper Kukmin Ilbo reported that shamanistic ritual sacrifices were performed in the National Assembly Proceeding Hall where South Korea’s legislature convenes.

The ceremony was attended by over 200 people, including politicians, supermodels, doctors and shamanists. It drew the ire of Korean pastors and theological teachers who condemned the National Assembly’s official endorsement of the event. The Korea Times also noted that the public was increasingly interpreting official events and the president’s remarks in religious terms.

After the sinking of the Sewol, South Korean media speculated the incident had been intentional and meant to mark the twentieth anniversary of the death of Choi Tae-min, which fell near the date of the Sewol disaster. Al-Jazeera wrote that Park was: “forced to deny rumours that she was participating in a ritual to mark the anniversary of the death of Choi Tae-min, the founder of a Christian sect to which she had ties.”

The Korea Times also described claims that the accident was related to a sacrificial ritual and that the victims were “offerings.” So controversial were the accusations against Park and Choi Soon-sil, that practitioners of shamanism in South Korea claimed their reputations were being tarnished by the scandal."

South Korea is not the only country whose leaders were forced out of office at the time for similar reasons.
