Chun Woo-won (R), a grandson of the late former South Korean President Chun Doo-hwan, gives a deep bow to bereaved family members in the city of Gwangju, about 270 kilometers south of Seoul, on March 31, 2023, to offer an apology in lieu of his grandfather to the victims of a 1980 crackdown on a pro-democracy uprising in the city. The 27-year-old 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. (Yonhap)
