Why did the government focus on Yoo Byung-eun post-disaster?

  • To manage public opinion

  • For tax evasion

  • For corporate mergers

  • Out of personal spite

Answer

The government focused on Yoo Byung-eun, the founder of the sunken ferry Sewol, to manage public opinion. This was because the ferry disaster was a highly publicized event that resulted in significant public anger and criticism of the government's response. By focusing attention on Yoo Byung-eun, the government could divert attention away from its own shortcomings and deflect public anger toward a single individual.
