Unlike Roh Tae-woo, who decided to hold a funeral as the head of the Blue House, he said that it was not worth thinking about discussing the head of the state with Chun Doo-hwan. Also, the ex-wife, Lee Soon-ja, visited the funeral home and paid tribute, but there was no apology for the 5/18 incident.

Lee Cheol-hee, senior presidential secretary for political affairs, explained that the case was different with Chun Doo-hwan in relation to Roh Tae-woo's decision as head of state.



[Lee Chul-hee / Blue House Chief of Political Affairs (CBS Radio): (Roh Tae-woo) He also left a will to ask for forgiveness, and the bereaved family apologized in the meantime, and 5/18 (group) also found and apologized… .]



Regarding Mr. Jeon, who did not have any apology, he said that the head of state, even the grave of the national cemetery, was not worth thinking about.



However, he added that he fully sympathizes with the criticism that the decision of the head of state is inappropriate, and added that the historical and national evaluation of this person does not end just because he becomes the head of state.



Chun Doo-hwan's wife, Lee Soon-ja, visited the mortuary with her eldest son Jae-guk on the afternoon of the 28th on behalf of Jeon, who is battling blood cancer.



After the condolences, the reporters asked if he would apologize for the 5/18, but Mr. Lee did not say anything.

Hyun-cheol, the second son of the late former President Kim Young-sam, and Hong-eop, the second son of the late former President Kim Dae-jung, also paid their condolences.



The government decided not to set up a separate incense burner, unlike the time of former President Kim Young-sam, who was the head of state, considering the deceased's will to hold funerals in a frugal way.



Roh Tae-woo's funeral will be held tomorrow at the Peace Plaza in Olympic Park in Seoul, and the graveyard is expected to be built at the Unification Garden in Paju, Gyeonggi Province, according to the wishes of the bereaved family.
