At the same time, he said he would accept punishment if he had to be punished through a police investigation.
“I really want to go to Gwangju, but if I can’t go to Gwangju, I think it’s a privilege and an honor to have this opportunity to apologize.
At the same time, the family said they were afraid that Mr. Jeon was punished, and that they stopped going to Korea.
Jeon Woo-won said he had no additional evidence regarding former President Chun Doo-hwan’s slush fund, and that it would be difficult to judge within the current legal system.
