Former Dictator’s Grandson Makes Claims Against Family in Youtube Video Before Passing Out from Drug Overdose

This was the big news over the weekend in Korea and another one of these only in Korea stories:

Chun Woo-won

Earlier this week, Chun Woo-won, a grandson of former authoritarian President Chun Doo-hwan, shocked many with revelations about his family’s extravagant lifestyles paid for with money from slush funds. On Friday, the grandson again caught many by surprise by using drugs live on a YouTube broadcast from his New York apartment.

The former president died in November 2021 aged 90. Convicted of treason and bribery, he refused to comply with a forfeiture order ― almost 92.5 billion won ($70.5 million) of the money in question remains unrecovered. 

The grandson wrote he would “reveal everything” on his Instagram account around 4 p.m. Thursday (local time), and began livestreaming around 5 p.m., according to news reports. 

First, Chun apologized for what his family had done and said that he is also a criminal and should be arrested. Then, he mentioned the names of drugs and appeared to use them. He appeared to quickly lose control of his body, shaking badly and rolling on the floor. 

The livestream, which had been on for an hour-and-a-half was stopped when authorities entered his apartment and dragged him out. The video has since been removed from YouTube.

You can read more at the link, but I think anyone with half a brain knew the Chun family had long been hiding money considering the luxurious lifestyle they had been living. Based on what he says in the video it appears most of this money is likely in the U.S. where he resides. Hopefully this guy gets the drug rehab and mental help he clearly needs.

Frankly, I don’t doubt the Generals lived outside the rules; but I have nothing but contempt for feeble-minded spawn of corrupt officials who decide to “confess” on social media without first turning over the ill-gotten loot.

The narcissistic dude was just looking for fame because his life was so vapid and meaningless. And now he’s going to have roommates who exercise a lot.

JTBC investigation shows a rich winery in the US, where a bottle of wine can cost up to $1000, is owned by the Chun family. And there is evidence that Yoon and his extremely corrupt fellow prosecuting team lawyers are protecting the Chun family’s wealth. Even Yoon invited Biden to this winery for their meeting once.

It’s no wonder why so many in the Yoon government rejects the 1980 Gwangju massacre and sympathizes with Japan’s historic revisionism that there were no Korean forced laborers during WWII.

Just because you can pull words kut of your sadly unhygienic orifices does not mean they are believable. Or true.

“The same can be said about you setnaffa.”

I know you are, but what am I?

Have you thought about becoming an international negotiator in the Biden administration?

NK: “The bellicose American imperialist gangsters and their South Korean running dog lackeys will evaporate in a sea of fire.”

KP: “Ha… ha ha… you just suffer from missile envy. Because you are fat.”

How would they respond? No matter what they did it would end in disaster.
