As the first female president in the history of South Korea，President Park Geun-hye，in her inaugural address，made her vows of being “a president of people’s livelihood”，“a president of keeping promises” and “a president of seeking for unity of the whole country”，and of opening “a new era of happiness and hopefulness”. In retrospect of her first year of taking office （Jan.，2013-Jan.，2014），President Park successfully developed diplomatic relationships with such big countries as USA and China；she made contributions to the normal development of the Kaesong Industrial Complex and reunions of separated families，which reveals that the “trust diplomacy” has shown its initial effects. Under the stimulation of series of economic policies，domestic economy shows a moderate growth. Therefore，President Park has gained stable support at a high rate. However，during the year of her taking power，the complicated political situation and such inundated political scandals as the interference of National Intelligence Service in presidential election lead to a sharp political opposition between the ruling party and the counter force. Furthermore，by “economic democracy”，replaced by the term “innovative economy”，the administration has not taken any substantial measures except for those of adjusting the enterprise structures. Plus，the Korean president’s claim to rebuild Jianghan Miracle，which once invokes the nation’s high imagination，is now regarded as unsatisfactory and disappointing. Therefore，some divergence exists in the domestic evaluation of Park Geun-hye.

In South Korea，the president is elected for a term of five years. Therefore，the second year after election is regarded as a crucial year. During her tenure in 2014，Park claimed such goals as constructing the foundation for the era of unity of Korean Peninsula，designing “three-year planning of economic reform”，promoting reform on public departments and promising to solve problems of people’s livelihood. Thereafter，the key to realization of these goals lies in how well Park and her government can promote the process of democratization of politics and economy，strengthen the competitive ability of the country by extending areas of foreign policy，and better the relationship between the two countries on the Korean Peninsula.
