June 27
1977 -- The Foreign Ministry delivers a letter of protest to Washington over the
wire-tapping of the office of President Park Chung-hee by the U.S. Central
Intelligence Agency. The U.S. agency was investigating an allegation that a
South Korean lobbyist paid bribes of up to US$1 million to U.S. high-level
politicians at the behest of the South Korean president, who did not get along
with his U.S. counterpart of the time, Jimmy Carter.
2005 -- South Korea's Kim Ju-yun wins the U.S. Women's Open, becoming the third
South Korean golfer on the LPGA tour to claim a major title. The 23-year-old
finished with a three-over-par 287 to win the tournament at Cherry Hills Country
Club in Colorado by two strokes. It was her first time competing in the U.S.
Women's Open since she debuted on the U.S. tour in 2000. The only other Koreans
to win a women's golf major were Grace Park and Pak Se-ri.
