Yun Po-sun
Yun Po-sun was a South Korean politician and activist who served as the second president of South Korea from 1960 to 1962. He was the only president of the short-lived Second Republic of Korea, and served as little more than a figurehead due to its nature as a parliamentary system.

I’m choosy with food – luckily. I avoid sweets. No softdrinks for me, not even iced tea. Sorry but I can’t be a vegetarian because I don’t eat vegetables. I’m not much of an eater, also luckily. I eat like a bird. As much as possible, I skip dinner. Nothing after six.
