SEOUL, July 23 (Yonhap) -- Former South Korean President Kim Dae-jung was again
put on a respirator on Thursday after developing breathing difficulties, a Seoul
hospital said.
The 85-year-old Kim, who served as president between 1998 and 2003, was admitted
to Severance Hospital in western Seoul on July 13 with pneumonia and put on a
respirator three days later.
The doctors had removed the ventilator on Sunday after his condition improved.
