Holding political figures accountable. Must be nice.

South Korea had to hold more than half its presidents accountable, though

Does that detract from expecting a nation to hold former leaders accountable for illegal acts?

No, but I'm sure they would find it nicer if it wasn't so commonly necessary

Probably, but South Korea is hardly alone in having leaders engage in questionably legal activities.
I'd say it's actually fairly common. I could name half a dozen elected leaders from other countries off the top of my head who've been investigated for various corrupt and/or criminal dealings.
