Chun Doo-hwan's grandson, Jeon Woo-won, was arrested by the police as soon as he set foot on South Korean soil. Surrounded by many reporters and police, Quan Yuyuan behaved quite calmly.
At about 6 a.m. on the 28th, the narcotics investigation team of the Seoul National Police Agency escorted Jeon Woo-won who entered through the second terminal of Incheon International Airport.
Police reportedly executed a court-issued arrest warrant, a physical seizure search warrant, and immediately arrested Jeon Woo-won at the airport. The airport was crowded with journalists and onlookers who came to film Quan Yuyuan's entry. A citizen also came to greet him with a sign reading "Welcome to Jeon Yuwon".
Around 8 a.m., Jeon Woo-won arrived at the Seoul Police Agency Mapo Building in Mapo-gu, Seoul. He said: "I will seriously cooperate with the investigation. If punishment is needed, I will accept it. ”
Starting on the 13th of this month, Quan Yuyuan exposed things related to his grandfather Quan Doo-hwan and his father Quan Jae-yong and other family members through YouTube and Instagram.
On the 17th of this month, he used various drugs that were presumed to be drugs during his YouTube live broadcast, so he became the subject of police investigation.
On the 26th of this month, he informed the news of his upcoming return to South Korea through Instagram, and said: "I have sorted out my luggage in the United States, and after the house is returned, I will buy a ticket to South Korea." I don't know if I'm going to South Korea to go to jail or something else. First of all, if I am not immediately arrested by the investigation agency after returning to South Korea, then I would like to drop off my luggage and immediately go to the 518 Memorial Cultural Center to apologize to the bereaved families and those who suffered mental torture because of this. ”
According to the plan, Quan Yuyuan departed at 12:50 a.m. on the 27th to board the plane and arrived at Incheon Airport at about 5:20 a.m. that day.
After completing the immigration procedures, Quan Yuyuan told reporters: "It is a blessing to have the opportunity to apologize to people whose hearts are hurt. I'm sorry I came to earth. ”
He also said, "I am very grateful to have allowed a sinner like me to come to Korea to apologize to all the people." Sorry to trouble you. Just as my life is precious, everyone's life is precious. Although I am alive, they (518 victims) are gone, so I am guilty. After the investigation, I will apologize to the 518 group, the survivors, and the victims. ”
The police plan to investigate whether Jeon Woo-won's claim that he used drugs together with his acquaintances is true, and to check whether Jeon Woo-won is using drugs.
