Ex-president's grandson arrested over suspected illegal drug use

Chun Woo-won, a grandson of the late former South Korean President Chun Doo-hwan, meets the press at Incheon airport, west of Seoul, on March 28, 2023, upon his arrival from New York, before being arrested over suspected illegal drug use. He has made allegations about corruption involving his family, calling his grandfather a "slaughterer." Chun Doo-hwan was a general-turned-strongman who seized power through a 1979 military coup and ruthlessly quelled a pro-democracy civil uprising in the southwestern city of Gwangju the following year.
