Chun Woo-won (C), a grandson of the late former South Korean President Chun Doo-hwan, speaks to reporters as he is taken by police officers to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency on March 28, 2023. The 27-year-old was arrested over suspected illegal drug use upon his arrival earlier in the day in South Korea from New York. 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.
