Asia Times Online has an interesting article on Roh as a kind of fairwell. For example:

Hwang Sang-min, professor of psychology at Yonsei University in Seoul, points out that Roh, who had humble beginnings in a poor family, established himself as an "angry fighter" against those with vested interests while working as a labor lawyer. "Roh's defining image is that of a fighter. He fights anything that represents authority. George Bush was one of them," Hwang said in a telephone interview.

"A country needs authority. An organization needs authority. Authority differs from authoritarianism. Roh says he fought against authoritarianism, but he actually destroyed authority altogether. He failed to distinguish the two," Hwang said.
