Ex-president's grandson visits Gwangju Chun Woo-won, a grandson of the late former South Korean President Chun Doo-hwan, speaks to reporters after arriving at a hotel in the southwestern city of Gwangju on March 30, 2023, to offer an apology to the victims of a 1980 pro-democracy uprising in the city. The 27-year-old was released from the Mapo Police Station in Seoul the previous day after being detained for investigation over suspected illegal drug use upon his arrival at Incheon International Airport, west of Seoul, on March 28. Chun Woo-won has 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.
