Quick Summary

Chang Myon served as the prime minister of South Korea during the brief Second Republic, which lasted only nine months. In this parliamentary cabinet system, the prime minister held significant power, with a figurehead president elected by the legislature. Chang's government attempted reforms but struggled to manage the instability following a political shift and rampant factionalism within the ruling Democratic Party. This internal strife weakened the leadership and hindered the implementation of economic reforms.1
