Chun Woo-won, the grandson of the late former authoritarian leader Chun Doo-hwan, who has been making online revelations on his family s criminal activities, will arrive in Korea on Tuesday to apologize to the bereaved families and victims of the bloody suppression of the 1980 Gwangju pro-democracy movement, the younger Chun said, Sunday.
Earlier this week, Chun Woo-won, a grandson of former authoritarian President Chun Doo-hwan, shocked many with revelations about his family s extravagant lifestyles paid for with money from slush funds. On Friday, the grandson again caught many by surprise by using drugs live on a YouTube broadcast from his New York apartment.
The recent revelations made by the late former authoritarian leader Chun Doo-hwan s grandson are causing a stir as he said he and his family members have enjoyed an extravagant lifestyle thanks to huge slush funds. The former dictator died at age 90 of chronic ailments in November 2021, having never paid back the bulk of the forfeiture related to his treason and bribery convictions.
