Former President Kim Young-sam has been hospitalized after showing signs of a cold, his aides and hospital officials said Tuesday.
The 85-year-old Kim, who served as president from 1993 to 1998, was admitted to Seoul National University Hospital in downtown Seoul on Monday afternoon due to light cold symptoms, according to the former president's chief secretary and hospital officials.
The former president will soon be discharged after simple medical checkups and treatment, they said.
