Reform policy under the Kim Young Sam Government had been propelled with powerful supports from the mass. Political reforms, including reforms of the military institution, punishments against political corruptions, and a foundation of legal lines for the political fund had been very successful and as a result had inspired the expectation for democratic consolidation in Korea.
