Kim holds out hope that former members of the regime will come forward to shine light on the bloody crackdown, but like many other victims, was disheartened that Chun died without showing significant remorse.
SEOUL, Nov 25 (Reuters) – The death this week of South Korea’s last military dictator, Chun Doo-hwan, marks the end of a divisive chapter in the country’s modern history but leaves survivors of his regime’s violence no closer to reconciliation or resolution.
For example, if an athlete gets second place in speed climbing, third in bouldering and first in lead climbing their overall score would be six (2 times 3 times 1 equals 6). Because of the scoring format, each climber will compete in each event. Once all the athletes are ordered by placement per event, their placement numbers will be multiplied, and the climbers with the lowest scores will win medals.
The new president will likely face an almost immediate crisis with Pyongyang, which appears to be preparing to launch a spy satellite and has suggested it could resume testing of long-range intercontinental ballistic missiles or nuclear weapons for the first time since 2017.
A hostage situation at an Apple Store in Amsterdam on Tuesday ended with the hostage being freed and the suspect being taken into custody after he was struck by a police vehicle as he ran from the store, law enforcement officials said.

SEOUL, March 10 (Reuters) – Conservative South Korean opposition candidate Yoon Suk-yeol rode to victory in a tight presidential election on a wave of discontent over economic policy, scandals and gender wars, reshaping the political future of Asia’s fourth-largest economy.
Yoon will need to restore public trust in Korea´s institutions and is likely to conduct major “housecleaning” by following through on a campaign pledge to investigate Moon’s administration for corruption, she added.
Yoon is a former prosecutor-general involved with Park’s case who fell out with outgoing President Moon Jae-in after being appointed by him, gaining notoriety over investigations of top presidential aides.
Hundreds of people are estimated to have died or gone missing when the South Korean government violently put down the Gwangju uprising by pro-democracy protesters in May 1980, when Chun was the de facto leader of the country after leading a military coup.
His victory in Wednesday’s bitterly fought election marks a remarkable turnaround for the main conservative bloc, now known as the People Power Party, which has regrouped since the 2017 snap election was held after the impeachment and ouster of then President Park Geun-hye.
Yoon has pledged to stamp out graft, foster justice and create a more level economic playing field, while seeking a “reset” with China and a tougher stance towards reclusive North Korea, which has launched a record number of missiles in recent months.
“We will explore all available ways and means to ensure that such an unfair judgment will not be made again,” Yoon Hong-geun, president of the Korea Skating Union, told a televised news conference in Beijing.

They cleared the square where the store is located and asked people in Leidseplein to stay inside. Tuesday evening local time, police reported on an official Twitter account that there was “an ongoing hostage situation at the Apple Store at Leidseplein,” a popular shopping and entertainment area in the city.

Many South Koreans questioned the decisions, especially as Hwang, the world number two in the event who won two of the four World Cup legs this season and set a new Olympic record on Saturday, had crossed the line first.
Some victims have received compensation for their loss of work, but other claims for compensation for emotional and psychological trauma faced legal barriers until a Supreme Court ruling in September, said Lee Ki-bong, an official at the May 18 Memorial Foundation who works with the families.
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida welcomed Yoon’s win, and said he hoped to work closely with him to rebuild healthier ties with its neighbour amid tensions over historic and economic disputes dating to Japan’s 1910-1945 occupation of Korea.
