SEOUL (The Korea Herald/Asia News Network): Chun Woo-won (pic) is slated to meet with the bereaved families of those killed in the 1980 Gwangju Uprising on Friday (March 31), as South Koreans keenly follow the man’s self-proclaimed quest to atone for the legacy of his late grandfather, a military dictator widely blamed for the massacre.
According to officials of the May 18 Memorial Foundation, the 27-year-old will hold a press conference where he will officially apologise on behalf of his late grandfather, former president Chun Doo-hwan, for his role in the killings.
