Not a good look for ex-president Chun considering he is claiming he has dementia:

Video footage of former South Korean President Chun Doo-hwan playing golf, who has been avoiding attending a defamation trial claiming dementia, has sparked public anger.

He has been accused of defaming late Rev. Cho Bi-oh regarding the 1980 Gwangju Democratic Uprising.

Justice Party Vice Chairman Lim Han-sol on Friday released a video clip of Chun playing golf with his companions.

Civic groups, including the May 18 Memorial Foundation, immediately released a statement condemning Chun.

“This is an insult and mockery of history. We can’t really tell how outraged we are now,” read the statement.

“Chun has cited dementia as an excuse to avoid the trial. But the footage clearly reveals that’s false. The court shouldn’t be lenient.”
