It is the fourth day of Chun Doo-hwan’s funeral. The visit of mourners has been sparse. Occasionally, some citizens protested, so let’s connect with reporters.
Reporter Gong Dasom, what’s happening again today?

Today (26th), a man blocked the entrance of another mortuary by writing calligraphy in front of Chun Doo-hwan’s mortuary after his condolences.
The funeral home asked for it to be removed for the sake of other guests, but when they did not listen, they reported it to the police.
A citizen who identified himself as a pastor read a statement that he would apologize on behalf of May 18, and had a fight with Chun Doo-hwan supporters.
A man who shouted ‘Chun Doo-hwan is a murderer’ was hit by water and dragged out.
There were picket protests right in front of the mortuary, and even those who were kicked out for trying to do a real-time internet broadcast.
There was shouting and swearing all day long.

After that, they also emphasized that the confiscation of Chun’s property to pay the fine should be done until the end.

Birth is tomorrow, right?

Tomorrow around 7:30 am, the funeral will be held with only family members in attendance.
After that, it will be moved to Seoul Memorial Park and cremation will be carried out according to Jeon’s will.
Jeon was sentenced to prison on charges of rebellion and other charges, and cannot be buried in a national cemetery.
The family took Chun’s ashes to their home and said that they will be moved when the burial site is decided.
