Chun Doo-hwan

Chun Doo-hwan ( Korean : 전두환) ( Hapcheon , Japanese Korea , January 18 1931 ) came after a coup in 1980 to power as 11th president of South Korea . He ruled until 1988.

Demonstrations against his regime in May 1980 in Gwangju were bloodily beaten. On October 9, 1983 Chun survived a bomb attack on a South Korean government delegation in Rangoon , Myanmar . It came four ministers. It is suspected that North Korea was behind the attack.
