Chun's grandson released after probe

Chun Woo-won (C), a grandson of late former President Chun Doo-hwan, is greeted by members of civic groups commemorating the 1980 pro-democracy uprising in Gwangju, as he is released from the Mapo Police Station in Seoul on March 29, 2023. He was detained for investigation over suspected illegal drug use upon his arrival at Incheon International Airport the previous day. Recently, Chun Woo-won referred to his grandfather as "a slaughterer" due to the military's brutal suppression of the Gwangju uprising after he seized power through a coup in 1979. (Yonhap)
